Let the hijinx begin!
Turns out 88 year old grandma was pulled aside for additional security screening. Apparently TSA thought that her lovely south texas lady persona was just a cover. Who knows what she was concealing under her fashionable Alfred Dunner attire. A search of her carry on revealed the threat. A mysterious gelatenous concoction disguised as Clinique Cold Creme! The Horror!
When it was all said and done, all of her make-up was confiscated. Sure, the skies are safe. But how is a sweet Texas lady like Grandma going to get her face on for the people of Dar Es Salam Tanzania? We are putting an emergency plan together. We have a short layover in Amsterdam. We plan to divide and concur that airport in search for high quality lotions and creams. Grandma will not be denied!

The TSA does indeed have something of a fixation on "more mature" flyers.
The last two times my World War II veteran 85 year old father has flown, he has been singled out of additional security screening. Is it the hearing aids? Is it the moustache?
Nope. It's his titanium hip replacement. Even with his TSA-acknowledged medical waiver card, they still single him out for additional screening.
Seriously?
I know I fly safer knowing that the AARP set are being scrutinized so closely.
