You can't say that TSA isn't being specific about their new restrictions on what can be carried aboard airplanes. The latest list of permitted and prohibited items is exhaustive. Some examples: Gel bras are OK, but gel deodorant has to go in the checked baggage. Lip gloss is out, but solid lipstick is in. Corkscrews, razors and scissors all are no problem--as is my personal favorite on the list: "toy Transformer robots."

Tom Shoop is vice president and editor in chief at Government Executive Media Group, where he oversees both print and online editorial operations.
