We can have deadly crash axes already in the cocpit and we can carry guns with us, but we cant have toothpaste or hair gel on the plane????? I am feeling less safe everyday....

Now lets get TSA to reimburse the airlines for all the money it has cost them to reschedule their passengers.

there's an exemption for Uniformed crew at most airports already

There wasn't this morning in OAK when I was jumpseating home in full uniform.

TSA told me to check my bags if I wanted to keep any of my stuff; mouthwash, hair gel, deodorent, etc. How is that even an option for flight crew???

Uniformed crew working the flight are exempt, not Jumpseaters..

Now jumpseaters (including commuters) and deadhead crews (in uniform) are exempt, as they are flight crew.
 
I hope no one really expects TSA to actually know who is exempt and who isn't. This will be the typical goat rodeo it is anytime the TSA comes down with a new directive. I wouldn't count on any consistency or logical-thinking from the thin, black-tennis-shoe-wearing, line.

Hey, what if we don't feel "safe" with the TSA wearing tennis shoes? I mean, they could be terrorists... or foreign gov't agents, even - I think we should request that they remove their shoes while screening us. For our safety, of course. And no more water bottles near that screening equip. Even the wands could be used as weapons...

Where did you find that out from? Have not read anywhere where it said flight crew in uniform are exempt

There was a company email sent out today that said uniformed crewmembers were exempt except for LHR flights. It was later in the afternoon, I believe.

Like some others were saying, I doubt all stations got the info. If your company sent anything out, I would print it and take it with you.

Good luck!
 
a lot of us were blessed with hair that falls out thus negating the need for hair gel.
