The TSA site oh so helpfully crashes my browser. My opinion of it remains the same.
So is lipstick and chapstick off the instruments of terror list, or am I going to be suspected of trying the moisterize someone to death?

I was allowed chapstick! It just has to be a solid stick and not, like, a pot of something.
I'm convinced this is nothing more than an attempt to drive up revenues at the airport stores. I've been buying hand cream before each of my flights because I can't deal with the de-hydration issues. The whole thing sucks and I miss my old in-flight moisturizing routine.
ETA: This was as of last month. I don't know what, if anything, has changed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just stick the hand cream in a quart-sized ziploc, and you're good to go. I'm not sure about the chapstick, but I've successfully used meara's smuggling suggestion of just putting it in your pocket and walking through the metal detector. OK, I used it for a lighter, but the principle is the same. In your pocket and non-metal = good to go.

No kidding. When all this first started, I declared it a profit conspiracy headed up by Aquafina. Now ziploc, chapstick and Vaseline are in on it! Jerks!
I have to buy more hand cream anyway, cause I left mine at work.
Lighter goes ok through the human metal detector? I had no idea.

I will deny this if asked by any sort of law enforcement agency, but yes, the plastic lighter in my pocket went undetected by several metal detectors.

Happy birthday, DX!

I've got answers filled in all but one square on that thing. It's been a few weeks since I've played with it.

I don't even get it. I looked at it and drew a blank. Are there no clues to start? What am I supposed to be guessing?
