Beverages Thru Security

[EatinRamen]

Be careful your fom may prohibit you from bringing alcohol in your bags.

Really?

Remember the Two-Bottle-Rule: Always leave room in your bag to carry two bottle of something back with you while on a trip. I've never had any problems with security when in uniform.

To answer the hazmat question.

Alcohol with less than 24% by volume has no limits
24-70% can be carried in either checked or carry on baggage
over 70% NOT ALLOWED

ALL ALCOHOL must be transported in unopened/sealed retail package.

Does anyone recall what the alcohol concentration is that's prohibited due to hazmat? Before I break out the book I was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head. I want to bring home a bottle of Scotch as a Christmas gift to someone.

One bottle shouldn't be a problem but be advised that not all duty-free shops are a bargain...EHAM (1L of a very nice single malt Islay for around 30 Euros-but the selection is limited) is about the best and there has been a problem sometimes out of VHHH for people headed to the US-they think that the 3 oz liquid limit applies to inside security...again, the sometimes...

Good luck!

Really?

Yes, really. The Mesaba FOM prohibits possesion of alcohol while on duty.

Throw it in your bag. I have had up to 6 bottles of wine and a couple liter of hard liquor coming through security multiple time on my commute home. Never had a problem.

It WAS in there. I can't find it either. Obviously it was removed at some point.
