and had a travel size bottle of contact solution with me in the liquids bag. For whatever reason, it set off one of the alarms and I got pulled aside. The tested it with litmus paper and said it turned color so I couldn't take it with me. Told them of COURSE it turned color..its mainly hydrogen peroxide...they tested it again...and of course, same response. I can't buy this certain brand where I live so I insisted they ask the official if something could be done...they did, then had me unpack my entire carryon and test for explosive residue, my shoes, each shoe in the case, inside my purse, over my body again...and then when they said everything was clear...she said...we still can't let you have the contact solution...sorry...Yes, I was totally put out because that part hadn't been explained to me...but not with the regulations, just the morons who didn't explain things well.

Regulations are put in place to PROTECT travelers and I say if I get put out by something that I know might red flag the officials, then its MY fault, not the country I an in or traveling to...for making my situation what it is.

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.
