The last leg of my moving from Virginia to Arizona was to transport my kitty out to the South-West. I decided to carry her on the plane with me. Not that big a deal, you can buy specialist carriers, and United charges an extra $85 to transport an animal in the cabin. We worked out the correct amount to drug the kitty so she was calm through the flight, and she was.
To get her through the security at Dulles in Washington DC I had to remove her from the bag. I refused to and a supervisor came and said we could go into a locked room where she couldn't escape. The kitty is a 'jumper' as they are known. Just before we headed off to the room a young fellow in a TSA uniform asked me if this was my bag. I said yes, he then pulled out a tube of toothpaste and said it is too big. Whatever, I am not having my flight held up for $2.99, especially when I have a drugged and stressed cat to transport. I said, "Throw it out." (more)
