We made our connecting flight in Zurich. It was close but they held the flight just for us. Well, maybe for us and the dozen other people who were running to catch it.
When we were in the airport in Rome, we stopped by one of the duty free shops to pick up some last minute things. On talking with the lady there about taking wine on board, we were assured that we could take wine with us on the plane to the US. So we picked up a couple of bottles to bring home with us. There wasn't a problem carrying them on board the flight from Rome to Zurich.
But the long reach of the TSA screwed us in Zurich. We had to go through another security check point in Zurich before getting on the plane. And at this one, a female security agent confiscated out wine in the sealed duty free bag. Frack you, TSA for these asinine rules. And another hearty frack you to the lady in the duty free shop in Rome who assured us that we could carry our wine on board the plane. The real kicker came when the stewardess on board the flight to SFO asked if we wanted wine with dinner. The wine was served in glass bottles. I took 2, a bottle of red and one of white. They sat next to my metal fork, knife and spoon that were on the tray served with dinner.
