Sean I'd contact TSA and the airline about the missing things. This time of year it might not be TSA taking something because of security reasons but outright theft.
The big thing about carry ons and liquids is that you can only have 3 oz containers in a 1 gallon ziploc bag. There's no limit to the containers in the bag but you can't have approximately 3 ozs in a 5 oz container the actual container has to be 3 oz.
As far as I know this includes all kinds of make up, lipsticks, and any kind of liquid food products -- including jams and jellies. Solid stuff is fine -- crackers, sandwiches, etc. I've seen someone have to dump out a bunch of homemade jams because they tried to carry them on.
When I was in my band, my fave "look" was miniskirts and knee socks with chunky loafers.
Hell, I still wear a variation on that theme (short skirts, knee socks, mary jane high heels). Depending on the fabrics, I bet anyone could get away with it!
If something is taken from the checked bag, it's definitely theft. I'm very sorry, Sean.
I should have said I feel too old for it now and like my body has changed enough for me to feel self-conscious about it. I even tried on a little corduroy mini the other day and was like, no way. It was something I totally would have worn 6-10 years ago, though.

I though it was a 1 quart bag.
Yeah, we packed the toiletries bag because of the carry on restrictions on liquids.

Argh! What about cosmetics that are less than 3 oz? Do I have to figure out a way to decant them into a 3 oz container, or can they stay in their little jars and tubes? And I bet I can't carry lipstick in my purse while I'm flying, can I?

You might give a stewardess a stealth makeover.
What is your on-plane wear, oh, lady of the cupcakes? Do you have a pared-down verson of the standard gear that doesn't make TSA think they have to search each layer of petticoat?
Do I have to figure out a way to decant them into a 3 oz container, or can they stay in their little jars and tubes?
They're fine as long as they're in the bag and less than 3 oz. At least, that's been my experience.
And I bet I can't carry lipstick in my purse while I'm flying, can I?
Technically, no, though I've been through security several times with chapstick and lip gloss in my purse and never had a problem.
CS Hell, Entry #442:
If the person you are trying to reach is continually unavailable, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT say something like "Well, I left them a voicemail yesterday..." and then WAIT for me to say something. Because I have neither sympathy nor an alternate solution for your problem. Think: If the person you are trying to reach is continually unavailable, maybe you should evaluate WHY they may not wish to speak to YOU PERSONALLY. Consider breath mints and, possibly, a powerful dandruff shampoo. Oh, and a personality transplant.
CS Hell, Entry #443:
Further on the subject of "Why Your Company's Rep Hates You" DO NOT call back five minutes later and ask the low-man-on-the-totem-pole CS Wonk (me) the answer to your arcane and probably stupid problem. A) I don't know and Pi) I don't care.
