The article in the LA Times regarding difficulties in flying for oral cancer survivors came out today and quotes Brian Hill. Coincidentally, yesterday was the firs time that I have flown since the new liquids ban and flew out here to Brian's home turf in Southern Ca. TSA dumped my water but then re-filled it for me at a water fountain inside the secured area. I emptied it once again and had the flight attendant immediately fill it for me, which went very smoothly. Although the letter that I had from my oncologist at MDACC stated that I needed water and Boost, they did not allow the water, but a supervisor did allow my two bottles of Boost to pass.
All in all it was not too much of a hassle. Hopefully, the article and Brian's efforts will bring about some reasonable changes for us. The whole thing is so dumb.
