I’m Ted Koppel And These Are My Toiletries

September 27, 2006 at 8:51 am

From the Washington Post:

For example, consider Ted Koppel and the requirement that containers of 3 ounces or less had to fit easily into clear plastic bags.  The former host of ABC’s “Nightline” arrived at Washington’s Reagan National Airport yesterday morning for a flight to Dallas without a clear plastic bag and a too-large tube of toothpaste in his shaving kit.  A supervisor with the Transportation Security Administration rushed to the rescue. She gave Koppel the necessary plastic bag and determined that he had already used enough of the toothpaste to meet the new limits for such gels. He put the tube into the plastic bag and sailed through security.

No word on whether Ted Koppel’s hair was detained for questioning.
