In this scenario the airport ops guy is definitely the falls under the idiot meaning.

Love the article..and the logic of it. Once we were stopped by a cop in Greenhills for “swerving”. When I asked what he meant by that as we have travelled worldwide and never encountered this, he merely mentioned that we changed lanes too much. When all in fact we did was signal first, check if all’s clear by turning our head, before switching lanes as we were to make a left turn (coming from the right lanes). I guess it’s better to just zip all the way from right lanes to left quickly and by just looking at the side mirrors.
BTW, of course they will let a cute blondie board withthe salt, batteries, acids, etc. as she’s cute and “nice”.

And I specifically asked the airport ops guy to give him a hard time but NOT put his job in jeopardy. I don’t think he will pull any silly stunts on other passengers anytime soon. And I do believe the six people at that inspection post WILL remember me for months to come…and since I pass through there twice a month or so I am wondering what strange but allowable item I should try and take on board next time! lee, its too corny but I did smile widely… Bob, like you, I don’t bother to make a stink if being left off the flight would be a hassle. In this case, Cebu is a no-risk detention point… Pinky, what is mangmang!? :) I’lltaketwoplease, the salt was worth about PHP30, and if he wanted money he would get japanese war notes… RGM, you are too cool, can you imagine if I spouted off those facts to the poor soul?! Talk about overkill…heehee. Kulasa, you got it. I actually didn’t lose my temper, I was in fact tumatawang naiinis… mike, could the salt in the bagoong be considered corrosive?! Haha! Connie, no McGyver here, specially without my swiss knife that is definitely bawal!

since you are a frequent flier to Cebu, the airport people might recognize you and may already have you on their let-him-pass-during-inspection passenger list since they now know that you will not take ineptitude sitting down. =)

Heaven is a place of where all things are good. You cannot bring salt near the heavens because salt is asin.
I admit it’s so corny I’m having a near death experience.

Often one will encounter people who are pulled from the welfare/unemployment line and given a job they are totally not trained to do.This moronic airport staff who seemed to be born without common sense are all over the world not only in our country.A month ago the security staff at Narita airport refused to have us bring in the cabin the ice pack that we used to cool my infant daughter’s milk.My wife and I argued but rather than missed our flight we just had it thrown in the garbage bin.

I’ve seen this so many times leaving out of NAIA, where they say something is wrong of bawal, or this or that, and they have their hand out. Pisses me off. “It’s Christmas Ma’amSir.”

Salt, or Sodium Chloride in its purest form, has a “0” for “Reactivity” based on the NFPA 704. This basically means salt is “normally stable, even under fire exposure conditions, and is not reactive with water”. Also, under the NFPA 704, it is NOT considered CORROSIVE!

I know the paragraph above is full of jargon, but hey, this is something you can use to make those stupid police to shut their traps when they talk about salt being corrosive!
