Michael Reith Salata, a homeless man “was convicted of lewdness involving a child in Utah in 2012“. The 61-year-old man was arrested when he tried to board Southwest Flight 1760 which was flying from Salt Lake City to Oakland, California.

Have you ever been unsure of what can be brought along on a flight in your carry on? It can be tricky when it comes to certain items.
I think we all know weapons, large bottles of liquids and most sharp items won’t be allowed through security. But what about items like razors (no I don’t mean boxcutters), crochet needles, toy guns
Did you know that the TSA has a feature online that could answer the question of what can be brought on flights? Continue reading Can That Item Go In My Carry On? Use This To Find Out
In the middle of September I wrote about how NY driver’s licenses + 3 other states won’t be valid for domestic flights in the future. Who knows if this will really happen…
This led me to look into what else is considered a valid form of ID. We could always bring a passport along but I prefer to leave mine at home unless I’m leaving the country.
Since I live in New York, I’d probably use my Global Entry ID card or get a passport card eventually.
While reading into valid forms of identification, something really interesting caught my eye. Continue reading Forgot Your ID? You Can Still Fly
We recently found out that New York Driver’s Licenses (+ 3 Other States) won’t be valid for domestic flights next year due to the Real ID Act.
(The post mentions Louisiana, Minnesota, New Hampshire & New York as the states in which licenses will not be accepted next year. Some readers pointed out that Arizona and Idaho will also not be valid in the future).
This news might be causing some of us to worry although we don’t know for sure if the rule will even be enforced next year. Continue reading What Counts As Valid Form of ID For Domestic Flights
During the year I enjoyed reading The TSA Blog, finding out some of the crazy things that they found people trying to sneak through security screenings at airports around the country.
Some of these things were really mind-blowing and I even wrote a bunch of blog posts to share what the TSA had found.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about the TSA’s finds. Since they posted about their 2014 Year In Review, I figured it was time for another, related post. Continue reading Knife Found In Enchilada & More: TSA 2014 Year In Review
The day before Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel days of the year. This past Wednesday, it was also the day that a 94-year-old man was caught at the airport with a loaded gun.
The incident took place close to home, at LaGuardia Airport. Continue reading Loaded Gun Seized from 94 Year Old At LaGuardia Airport
I’ve always found it interesting to read about the crazy and dangerous items that the TSA finds at the airport. It’s amazing that people really think they will successfully sneak some of these dangerous items though, unless they genuinely forgot that the items were in their bags!
I was looking over the post from the TSA about recent weekly finds called TSA Week In Review. There weren’t really too many items that stood out but there were still a few good ones. Continue reading DANGEROUS Weekly Finds at Airports
The TSA is hard at work trying to make sure that our airports are safe. They like to share some of the interesting and illegal things that get discovered each week on their blog.
I’m always fascinated by the crazy things people try to sneak past the TSA in their carry-ons. I’d assume that sometimes it is an honest mistake but most times it is probably not. Continue reading See What The TSA Found Now!
I love reading about the crazy (mostly dangerous) things that people try to get past the TSA in their carry-ons.
The TSA does a great job of sharing with us through their blog with weekly updates. I also love getting reminders to check what’s been found by following @TSA on Twitter.
I’ve written about some of the TSA finds at the airport (here and here) last month. Continue reading TSA Finds For the Week: Comb Dagger, Lipstick Knife & More
A little over a week back I wrote about a dangerous items that the TSA found at the airport in Boston.
The TSA found another interesting item at the airport. The item was once again shared by the @TSABlogTeam on Twitter.
When I read what the item was, it brought back memories from when I was around 10 years old. Continue reading TSA Finds Sharp Throwing Star At Dallas-Love Field
