E-Cigs Through The Toughest Security In The World!!

[PTJD]

OK, did this trip last spring and thought I posted it before. But since we are getting a lot of "can we bring e-cigs through airport security?" questions thought I would try this again.
I visited Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem for a 7 day business trip last spring. I was well into another vaping adventure when I realized I would be going through Ben Gurion on my way to Vienna with my PV and juice. Talk about the strictest security for an airport! Well guys, no problem, unless TSA changes some rules you all wil be fine. Some pictures.

Flying into Tel-Aviv and Frankfurt also had a extra security layer to Tel-Aviv.





KB and I inside Ben Gurion!!! Made it!!!




My stash I was able to take out of Israel.




So you all have no worry's here in the US, for now anyways!

That's good to know. I wonder how the recent psycho Nigerian incident is going to impact all this.

Well, they might clamp down on syringes (I believe that is how said terrorist activated his explosives...which seemed to result in him setting his leg on fire).

Edit: Those portable battery packs sure is slick! Gotta get me one of those.

good to know u made it thru!

eta, i just came back from paris france on the 24th with out any issues..

I got stopped travelling back from Egypt, one of the security guys saw me take my PCC out of my pocket and put it in the tray to go through the metal detector, he was very intereseted indeed so I gave him a demonstration! He scanned the PCC to see what was inside, it was very colourful on the screen with what looked like a massive yellow battery in the bottom Unfortunately I put my bag on the other x-ray machine manned by another guy who wasn't as friendly who insisted on looking inside and prodding and poking my beautiful blue penstyle batteries, guess that 5 pack looked like a bomb that or he wanted them like how they drink all the confiscated drinks from passengers!!!

Anyway, he grumbled and let me through vapes and all I'll take snuff there next time!

Ohh yea and I got 3 seats in the plane so stealth vaped all the way back!

No problems with London Gatwick security either

Well. looks like some things are going to change, I frequent a couple of FF travel forums also. Confirmed that you can no longer get out of your seat and all items must be put in overhead compartment including blankets and pillows 1 hour prior to landing for International flights to the US.
Confirmed, United and Quantas has disabled all Skymaps on International flights to US.
Unconfirmed, but this has me worried more than anything is that at DFW a few travelers reported having legal sized "generic" liquid bottles confiscated. They need to be in a manufacturers original bottle, If this is true may have problems with e-liquid in the future, again this is unconfirmed.

Well then put your e liquid in a manufacture's bottle like the small breath drops bottles with the labels.

That should work if it comes down to it. I know Jim Davis is gonna be on a flight this week, hope he reports in.

I can not say too much as being on the inside limits the amount of info I am able to post but I can say that the rules have not changed at all. Liquids have always needed to be in a bottle with a manufacturers label stating that it was under 3.4 ounces. I can say the both Dekang and JC liquid comes in a suitably labeled bottle and both are well under 3.4 ounces.

P.S.
We do not take any of the confiscated items. I get paid enough to go to the soda machine and spend $1 on my own bottle of water or to go to the water cooler we have and drink free water that wont get me fired. Yes I work for TSA, no I'm not an ass. If any of you want to vape with TSA and happen to be flying through MCO Ill be happy to vape with TSA just send me a message.
