I Hate the TSA
cost of baby formula

Image by Chuck “Caveman” Coker
I had to go to the Ontario International (ONT) in Ontario, California to drop someone off this morning. This extremely rude Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Officer told me I’m not allowed to take photos at the airport. He didn’t speak very clearly either so I had to ask him to repeat himself several times. I wish now that I would have snapped off about a dozen more of him. This isn’t even a very good photo—I’m just posting it on the Internet because I can. TSA employees like him make me angry.

————————————————————————————————————————

I usually consider myself a better-than-average researcher. I’m really good at finding things.

I have not been able to find any laws prohibiting photography at an airport, or anywhere else for that matter. Some businesses have signs at their entrances that say "no photography," but that is the business’s decision—it is not the law. And when someone politely asks for there to be no photography, it usually shows good form to comply with their wishes.

After spending a lot of time on the TSA’s website, the only photography-related info I could find is 1) that "primary lithium batteries" are often used in cameras, and 2) on a blog page someone said that "TSA asks people not to photograph the monitors," although no specific law citation accompanies the claim. I was unable to determine if these were "official" statements or not, but the blog was on the official TSA website.

I did find a few interesting Photography and the Law websites:

I found this little gem on the Internet (source) and I corrected a couple of misspelled words:

Live from the Honolulu International Airport, I bring you the following conversation I shared with the Transport Security Administration about the photography of their checkpoint.

Me: Is there any specific written TSA regulation prohibiting photography?

TSA Captain: Yes there is. Photography is not allowed.

Me: Can I see this in writing?

TSA Captain: I can’t let you see that.

Me: Then how do I know it exists?

TSA Captain: I just told you.

Some TSA Rules
With sources. All italics and bold are mine, except where noted.

"Breast milk [is] allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and [is] not required to be in the zip-top bag."

"There is no restriction on the amount of baby formula, breast milk, or medicines you can bring, but they must be declared and presented for inspection at the checkpoint."
Source: TSA website
Is "reasonable quantities" (item 1 above) the same thing as "no restriction"? Do you have to present your breast milk containers for inspection?

"You are required to remove your shoes before you enter the walk-through metal detector. . . . Disposable booties or slippers may be worn through the checkpoint to help protect your feet, but they must be disposed of prior to leaving the screening area."

"As of January 1, 2008, the Department of Transportation (DOT) through the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) no longer allows loose [TSA's emphasis] lithium batteries in checked baggage."

"Our highly trained transportation security officers . . ."

Comedy!

"Our current policies and procedures focus on ensuring that all passengers, regardless of their personal situations and needs, are treated equally and with the dignity, respect, and courtesy they deserve."

More comedy!

"Gel shoe inserts are not permitted, . . ."

You are permitted to carry "scissors – metal with pointed tips and blades shorter than four inches" and "screwdrivers (seven inches or less in length)" on the plane with you.

"Lithium-ion batteries, often found in laptop computers, differ from primary lithium batteries, which are often used in cameras. Some newer AA-size batteries are also primary lithium. While there is no explosion hazard associated with either kind of battery, . . ."

"Knitting needles are permitted in your carry-on baggage or checked baggage [TSA's emphasis]. . . . In case a Security Officer does not allow your knitting tools through security . . ."

You are just not allowed to knit an Afghan!

"You may bring skydiving rigs [parachutes] with and without Automatic Activation Devices (AAD) as carry-on or checked luggage. . . . If security officers need to further search your bag, they will make every effort search it without out opening the chute."
Source: TSA website

"The equipment used to screen checked baggage will damage undeveloped film. Pack your undeveloped film in your carry-on bag. High speed and specialty film should be hand inspected at the security checkpoint. To facilitate hand-inspection, remove your undeveloped film from the canister and pack in a clear plastic bag."
Source: TSA website

"TSA has worked with several companies to develop [baggage] locks that can be opened by security officers using universal "master" keys so that the locks may not have to be cut."

"NEVER leave babies in an infant carrier while it goes through the X-ray machine."

Okay, this is a good one.

"Buy batteries from reputable sources and only use batteries approved for your device – avoid counterfeits! A counterfeit battery is more likely to cause a fire in your equipment – costing you more in the long run, and compromising safety."

Owens House Newborn
cost of baby formula

Image by cambodia4kidsorg
The Sharing Foundation’s other major HIV initiative is the Owens House for HIV infected women who are about to deliver their infants in the city, usually at Calmette Hospital. Owens house was named for the Owens family, Mother, Dad and their two daughters Laura, 8, and Sarah,14, who perished in the Lockerbie Pan Am 103 disaster. Marty Ives Owens’ sister, Ellen Ives, chose to support all the rehab of the home in Phnom Penh, plus the ongoing expenses of this program, as an incredibly positive way to save many infants’ lives after her own family’s tragedy.
HIV pregnant women who have previously registered come here near to term, receive teaching in group classes, and when in labor go to Hospital, where they receive nevirapine in labor. The infants are given a dose soon after delivery, thus, with other therapy, cutting the transmission of HIV from mother to child from the expected 25 % to near 5 %. Of the 22 babies born to infected moms in this program in the last 6 months, two have been positive for HIV.
The mothers and babies, return to Owens House after delivery for sometimes several weeks. The importance of preparing infant formula with safe, clean water is carefully taught, as breast feeding is not advisable with HIV moms, and we do not want the infants contracting fatal gastrointestinal infection from contaminated water. Follow up for mothers and infants is then carried out through a Maryknoll program. We have had about 200 mother and infants at Owens House since the program started 4 years ago.
HIV / sex education is very uncommon in Cambodia, although interest is beginning. Last year we arranged a weeklong program, “City Living Skills”, for our 10 college students, right before academic classes began. The students were very embarrassed in the beginning, as this sort of education is so unusual; we were amazed that no such education had come from their homes, either. After the course ended, the college students highly recommended the course, taught under the aegis of a French sex educator, but by a Cambodian teacher, and this fall we again had a week long course for our 10 new, incoming Freshmen. The cost to TSF was about 0, including lunches. We are now working to arrange a voluntary course for High School students to be run on weekends for a whole day [with lunch], probably separating the boys and girls. Once the logistics are solved, and it is running, we will report.
We are proud to be doing some ground-breaking work with HIV. Even though our numbers are small, for the children involved, the outcome can be, and is, life–saving.

Answer by Jonathan S
It’s been several years since we’ve bought formula in Peru, but the prices there were not cheap. It’s about the same as it was here in the U.S.

  1. cptdrinian (offline for maintenance)

    Thanks for the info. Sorry you had this experience, but it pales in comparison to what I have to deal with every two weeks since I fly back-and-forth to the East Coast for work. And I fly out of Ontario.

    I’ve seen, heard, and personally experienced some really insane things since I started my business travels 12 years ago. Just chalk it up to experience and know that you’re a better person.

  2. now your on the warpath~haha
    This really does sound like a bunch of Hooey~but it is what it is~
    sadly it’s because of the times we’re living in. Terrorists & such~
    I don’t see how takin pictures is a crime myself~Crazy…..

  3. Santa Froggy is Coming! ~PZ

    Wait till the same people are running your health care. It’ll be the same smashing success as FannieMae and FreddieMac. Do you really want medical care from the lowest bidder?

    And don’t irradiate baby, ever! Gel shoe inserts?!?

  4. Terribly Stupid Agency.

  5. @Jibby! LOL… So true!

    Unfortunately, the TSA was created in haste and was endowed with power but no one thought about the need to limit its power. Therefore, the TSA makes its own rules and no one regulates it. So typical of run amok bureaucracy… Question it and you’ll be labeled a terrorist. Oops. We better all go hide out in the Bat Cave.

  6. Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Photography is not a crime, and we’d love to have this added to the group!

  7. Chuck “Caveman” Coker

    cptdrinian — I think what annoys me more than anything else is that it’s a big show—all show and no substance. If I wanted to fly an airplane into a building, I wouldn’t go to Ontario airport. I’d go to a local airport where I can fly my own plane. I’m sure that real terrorists are well-funded enough to buy their own plane.

    Quay Bell — You never know. The worst part is that the rules constantly change and you can’t get a straight answer from anyone in the DHS or TSA.

    Pete Zarria — I can’t wait!

    Jibby! — I always thought, "Terrible Shame, America."

    djade20 — So true. Some day’s I worry that my retirement plans may include Guantananmo Bay.

    ashi — I added it. Thanks.

  8. I had the misfortune of misplacing my Social Security Card..My accountant needed a copy for his files…Off I Go to the local Social Security Office…they also have a big sign no cameras , no cell phones, no camera phones…."Home Land Security"? has a nice little desk set up that you check in at..they wanted 2 forms of I.D…I showed them my Drivers License and Voter Registration Card (I can Vote for the President of the United States with them) "Home Land Dofus" said how about your Social Security Card?? I wanted to whip out my Camera Cell Phone and start taking pictures of him……Wow don’t that make you feel safe?

  9. cptdrinian (offline for maintenance)

    You’re absolutely right on both points. I’ve been saying it’s nothing more than smoke and mirrors for years and they won’t use the same tactics twice.

  10. As an airline pilot, I can assure you that photography of anything on, in, over, or near an airport is permitted. What we are required to report is "suspicious activity". A person taking pictures could, in principle, be "suspicious", but they are not breaking any laws.

    You can take pictures of airplanes, pilots, flight attendants, ramp workers, gate agents, and TSA agents, although why anyone would want a picture of such a thing, I haven’t a clue. Of course, they are always alert, wary, and ready to defend the country.

    "Thousands Standing Around" that’s what we called them when I worked for an airline.

  12. In the next month I will be going from Moline, IL to Miami via MSP with a return throuh Atlanta. The lay-over in Minneapolis is several hours and I should have time to visit the Larry Craig Memorial.

    I promise not to tap my good foot on anything.

    Past the security point in the terminals nobody has ever bothered me about anything. And it is time for me to update my galley of airplane pics.

    It just struck me, with the new 4-digit international airport codes, Ontario, California would be KONT. Now how is that for a code name?

  13. photography is allowed at airports…that’s why the paparazzi are at LAX all of the time

    this TSA officer was wrong

  14. The TSA is a horribly thought-out and run agency and needs to be disbanded. Put somebody in charge who actually knows something about real security, not games with breast milk and nail files.


    Seen on your photo stream. (?)

  15. Chuck “Caveman” Coker

    iowapix — I was standing on the sidewalk outside the terminal when I took this photo. Some day when I don’t have anything better to do, I want to go around and take photos of things like this. I have to make sure I have the time to be detained, just in case. In the Minneapolis airport,don’t listen to your iPod or anything else that may cause you to tap your foot.

    Suzee Que — My 17-year-old daughter needed to get a government-issued photo ID card. To get one she had to show a government-issued photo ID. WTF?

    cptdrinian — If I really wanted to cause damage here in Southern California, I would simultaneously blow up I-5 at the Grapevine, I-15 in Cajon Pass, and I-10 in the San Gorgonio Pass. That would completely cripple SoCal and the Southwest—no goods could come in or go out.

    v1rotate — That photo is hilarious. I’ve always thought, but can’t prove, that taking photos of public servants, doing their public jobs in public areas are fair game for a photo. The same goes for any buildings, people, or property visible from public areas. I’m not a lawyer. Your mileage may vary.

    glory2045 — Another good one!

  16. Chuck “Caveman” Coker

    discarted — I was (am) pretty sure that this TSA guy was wrong.

    marctonysmith — > The TSA is a horribly thought-out and run agency and needs to be disbanded.

    It would have to be thought out before it could be horribly thought out.

  17. obliviousmemory

    Dude, I hate to break it to you, but that is NOT a TSA officer. He is a Public Safety Officer.

  18. obliviousmemory

    Also, photography is permitted at the checkpoint, UNLESS it prohibits the screening process.

  19. Awesome photo.. keep fighting back! That’s what they’re afraid of. :)

  20. Chuck “Caveman” Coker

    obliviousmemory — Thanks for the clarification. I thought they were all TSA. I haven’t found a definitive answer on the photography issue, but the best answers I’ve found say that it is okay unless it interferes with the screening process. This was shot immediately outside the doors to the terminal—a place I’m positive is a legal photography area.

    Colourjunkie — Thank you.

  21. obliviousmemory

    No prob :) I’m a TSO, and this question comes up a lot.

  22. Chuck “Caveman” Coker

    obliviousmemory — A TSO? What do you think about all this? Other than it’s good to have a job. If you can’t comment on any of this, that’s okay too.

  23. obliviousmemory

    Well, what exactly are you asking me? :)

  24. Chuck “Caveman” Coker

    obliviousmemory — Do you think the TSA performs a useful service or do you think it’s all (or mostly) show and the money could be better spent somewhere else? I don’t know any TSA people to ask. If you can’t comment because of your job, that’s understandable.

  25. He is not TSA!!!<<<<<<<<< and you are allowed to take photos in an Federal Checkpoint as long as it’s not of the screening process, or equipment..

  26. lol lol

  27. That Hartford Guy

    1) That guy is not wearing a TSA uniform.
    2) The TSA is only in the United States, not Canada.
    3) Take all the photos you want. Just don’t take any of the Security area. Keep in mind that it is up to each airport to set local policy on photography. Some airports are State owned, some are privately owned, so laws can vary from State to State.
    4) For those who think the TSA violates your right, try flying EL-AL.

  28. Indrani Soemardjan

    Great initiative. Is it possible to source for wet-nurse rather than using expensive formula? To my knowledge, cambodian moms are poor, and if paying wet-nurse is as expensive as buying formula, at least the breast milk from wet nurse would have no risk of gastrointestinal diseases.

  29. formula is a dreadful alternative to breast milk. there’s an organization called Eats on Feets that got together on facebook to help women who don’t want to feed their babies stuff produced in a factory that often comes with non-listed ingredients (stuff like pneumococcus bacteria, listeriosis, larvae, metal shavings, glass shards, etc).

    i’m pretty sure it would work great in countries like cambodia, perhaps by enlisting the assistance of an NGO like medecins sans frontiers.
