[Sca-cooks] Threat Levels at Airports

[ysabeau]

Actually, they are allowing liquid prescription medications 
(properly labeled, etc.) and liquid baby formula. This is 
according to the latest travel advisory from our travel 
department. I work for an Japanese company with people flying all 
over the world all the time. We get corporate travel alerts when 
this type of thing happens.
