When moisturizer is outlawed, only outlaws will have moisturizer: One of my roommates had the misfortune of trying to board a 5 a.m. flight from Washington, D.C., this morning, without knowing about the recently enacted bans on water-based items in carry-on luggage. They seized his toothpaste, saline solution, cologne … They offered him the chance to go buy an envelope and mail the items back to himself, but he would have missed his flight."But the worst thing is, they took my Hope in a Jar" (the awesome, awesome moisturizer by Philosophy that I got him hooked on), he said plaintively when I talked to him on the phone. "And it was almost a full jar. I almost cried."So, keep in mind: Put that stuff in your checked luggage. Because you’d be really sore if they confiscated your $210 jar of La Mer ….My friend Michael says he’s going to open a Walgreen’s in the parking lot of every major airport. He’ll make a fortune.
