Lipgloss. I was furious, too.

Yeah I was going to say chapstick. I mean what am I gonna do with that? Moisturize the pilot's lips?

A tube of Colgate Total Toothpaste. I was flying from St. Croix to St. Thomas in a nine passenger Cape Air Airplane. It is very similar or identical to the one on the picture. While I was boarding the plane I had to handle the bag (the one that had the lethal Colgate Total Toothpaste removed)to a ground crew member who took it and stuck it in the baggage compartment located on the left wing, the one next to the passengers in the picture. The baggage compartment functions like the trunk of a car: you raise the top, put everything inside and lock it. We boarded the plane with nothing in our hands. So...if I wanted to hurt someone with something that I had placed in the bag I had get on top of the wing while the plane was flying, open the baggage compartment, look for my bag, get the poisonous Colgate Total Toothpaste, get back on the plane and create a terrorist act. Isn't that ridiculous? I have flown with Cape Air a few times and some of the pilots let you sit next to them, like a copilot, with all the buttons and controls in front of you! Isn't that more dangerous than removing the toothpaste. What if whoever sits next to the pilot has suicidal tendencies and forgot to take his or her pills!!!!

When they started not allowing liquids in carry-on bags, I didn't know, so I had brand new bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and makeup taken away from me and trashed. They also tried to throw away my prescription toothpaste, but I begged. It's $18 a tube!
