1. Cars are being searched as they are entering Central Parking.
2. Defensive sprays, are *NOT* permissible in checked luggage. This was verified by the check-in counter personnel, a manager, and a TSA agent.
After luggage check-in, I asked a TSA agent that was more or less doing nothing about the "new" policy of forbidding defensive sprays in checked luggage. I was told, quite plainly and perhaps with a dash of contempt, that "We don't allow those things on board an aircraft, sir."
I replied that I the TSA website says that sprays are permissible (link), provided that they meet certain size and safety requirements.
The TSA agent snapped back, "Those were never allowed on aircraft, sir. Probably because you need to be licensed."
I replied, "Massachusetts requires a license, and we are duly licensed, but the destination has no such requirement." Her reply, "I'm not a law enforcement agent. I can't answer your question, sir."
I just nodded my head and walked away. Please note there's an obvious discrepancy on the TSA website.
Just a heads up.
