Moussing the TSA

So we got to Chicago and had to get to Terminal 5 for the outbound flight. We had to go out of Security to take the tram and go back through.  Much to our chagrin, the TSA people in Chicago are much harder-assed than in DC.  Much of the carry on stuff that had been fine on the domestic flight (Mousse, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc) were no longer OK. Ann could either throw it away or go back out to re-check the bag. She was willing to abandon everything BUT the mousse. So the TSA agent escorted us outside of security, not letting us touch the bag for any reason.  15 minutes later we had the bag replaced and checked again.
We met Elsa, my cousin, in the BA lounge and are having some snacks and drink as we wait for the 14 hour flight. Ugh
