Wordless Wednesday: Are You Kidding Me TSA?

Our sixth flight in seven weeks and they made us do this as we went through security...

airport shoes

So what exactly are babies hiding in their shoes these days?

At least they let her keep her diaper on.

  1. We flew to your neck of the woods in July. Coming home at Love Field they made me take off the baby's blanked she was sleeping and it was cold. Nightly wrapped so you could see it was just a baby.

    Not to mention they made my son take off his flip flops and refused to help him walk through when he did not like the carpet (major sensory issues) I asked for secondary screening and they did not do that there like they did in San Diego


    Happy flying! At least she will be a pro

  3. It's just protocol ma'am. :)

    I would think you could hide a lot more in the diaper than those tiny shoes.

  4. OMG... honestly, what were they thinking?!!!

    well, it's a good thing they didn't make her WALK thru the scan! I remember at Heathrow they told us to make Mimi (then 18-months) walk thru on her own and she refused to leave my side to walk towards a total stranger! So we had to hold up the entire line till hubby was done putting all our stuff on the belt for scanning and then he walked thru and Mimi walked towards him!! Oh, and mind you, they made her take her shoes off too!!! And she was walking in only socks!! Very hard for a toddler who had just started walking on her own only 3 months before! I was outraged!!!

  10. It's not the babies - it's the sick parents who try to hide stuff via their baby. But her shoes are super cute.

  11. I never put Moo on shoes when we flew. I just knew I would have enough to deal with breaking down the travel system for them to send through the x-ray machine. They did test the water in her bottle which I thought was crazy since she was drinking it. Like come on I'm going to let my baby drink some bomb making liquids?

  12. Ya know... if you think about it... you could hide a lot more in a diaper than in an infant shoe. Just saying!

  13. I love the new blog design, and yes, TSA sucks. I had to take my little one out of the carseat, dump the carseat over (which made me lose a pacifier), walk him through first, then walk myself through. It's crazy. Cute little shoes though.

  14. I always put easy on/off shoes on my son whenever we would fly. There's just no way I want to wrestle with him and shoelaces. No thanks. I haven't been brave enough to attempt flight with three children. Flying with one was enough. We plan to drive places now.

    I love that you gave her shoes their own crate.

  17. Wow...that is ridiculous--but I guess it's all in the name of safety, huh? What is funny is that you whipped out the camera to take a picture of it--too funny. Ok, I love those shoes--too cute. By the way, I know this is not a blog about haircare but I can't help but notice your hair in the photo in the header. It's beautiful--so thick and healthy looking. What products do you use?
