Traveling with kids

Hi, Me and my 2 year old and 4 year old will be traveling to Ecuador from JFK and and they drink milk. Am I allowed to take milk thru security? And I have a lot of creams, lotions, aerosols, how many items I'm allowed to take in my carry-on bag?

Your carry-on gels, liquids

Your carry-on gels, liquids and aerosols cannot be in a container larger than 3oz and all item must be able to fit in one 1 quart plastic bag. Any of these items larger than 3oz must be placed in checked baggage. If you try to take these items larger than 3oz through security they will confiscate/trash or tell you to return to your airline for checked baggage. For the milk, you should let the security screeners know that the milk is for the children, they may have to run a quick test of these liquids. Best to take the sealed packaged milk and do not open until you pass security, these types of sealed packaged milk/juice may not need additional screening. Make sure you take the plastic bag and milk out of your carry on and put separately in the gray bin.

I just reached my

I just reached my destination of Dubai from JFK and i noticed that one of my bags had a TSA sticker on it.
It was the same one that a brand new Ipad was stolen from after i had checked it into the luggage as my carry one was already too heavy...

Upon further research it seems a whole bunch of stuff goes missing from JFK - looks like the scanning guy marked my bag with "stuff to steal" and then some other low life thief opened it, stole the ipad and also stole a gps device without it's charger or suction mount - the battery only lasts 20 minutes you low life piece of!!!

What a thieving bunch of employees at JFK airport...

If you think it was TSA and

If you think it was TSA and not the airline's baggage crew who pilfered your bag you can certainly file a complaint online with TSA. Rule of thumb; never put vaulables, electronics, cell phones, necessary medications, cash/money, etc. in checked bags, always take those in your carry on bag.

airline security staff yelled at me and were incredibly rude

I was trying to go through security for 6am flight to LAX on American Airlines on July 29, 2010. The lady that checked me in for my flight was incredibly helpful and nice. My carry-on suitcase, which is standard carry-on size (and I've used in countless flights), was kind of full and didn't fit easily in the check on measure device. Instead of politely asking me to move stuff from bag to bag, which I eventually did and it was fine to go, the two ladies were screaming at me that I needed to check the bag. I explained I couldn't check it, it was too valuable and important, and instead I moved the stuff from bag to bag. When I came back and it fit, they screamed at me that I was "pulling it out wrong" and I wasn't listening to them and "when people talk to me, I need to listen." They were borderline cruel. I don't know how you screen your staff, but it was awful and these ladies need either anger management courses or a tranquilizer. They were screaming up in my face. It was shocking and I know we are New Yorkers and everything but there's no need for that. I know they have a job to do, and I completely respect airline security and all the measures you take to keep us safe, but this was out of control. I hope they yell at the wrong important person and get fired. I doubt this complaint will do much... I saw them screaming at some other poor guy too. Do we really need abuse from airline security? Is the airline system not stressful enough? Thanks, Janie Marshall

Is that customary?

If it is not, is there somewhere that I can

He could have directed her to a public phone,
but it looks like this was a business "on the
side."

Yes, it was a business "on the side". He is not supposed to do that. She should have gotten his name and file a complaint with Port Authority police department.
