Hi, Dave, and Ole.
just one tought about your unmarked deodorant you were not allowed to  
carry onboard.
Of course the process seems ridiculous for many, but how could a  
screener determine on the spot what was actually in the bottle :  
tequila, eau bénite from Lourdes or some specific substance to be  
mixed with a few cc of another liquid substance the same traveler  
happens to carry in another - marked or not - container, but just  
enough - when mixed  - for a terrorist to implose f.i. some door of a  
high altitude flying  aircraft,  killing all aboard?

Imagine a crazy idealist boarding a plane with a  small bottle of one  
and another guy with a well dissimulated flask of such substance  
(suppose  we know on (IP) wich one would be effective) and the two  
guys  just organize the blend in the toilets or anywhere on board.....

therefore no liquids allowed on a plane seems a good precaution ,  
except eye drops in small bottles, and even some powders for face  
makeup or babie's care should'nt ...

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.
