Reply-To: Ole Jacobsen <ole () cisco com> For IP: Returning from Montreal yesterday my carry-on bag was searched and a small plastic spray bottle with deoderant was confiscated since it had no label on it. I've travelled all over the world with this same bottle for some 10 years so I was rather surprised to learn that it isn't a legal item. The screeners made no attempt to determine what was actually in the bottle. Obviously, if you want to take something more dangerous than deoderant all you have to do is put it in a container with a label. It's clearly easier to make stupid rules than to actually try to prevent dangerous material from getting on aircraft. Ole J.
