is it true?

I heard a tidbit on the local NPR station during a break for local news.

Of course yesterday all the local media could talk about was about the new travel restrictions. I could have sworn I heard that some people reported that they had to throw away their chapstick.

I have to put my foot down on that one. As a kid and teen, I overdid the Carmex to an extreme because of my dry and peeling lips. When I finally decided to try quit using lip protection, my lips would burn like crazy.

I switched to Chapstick brands to get rid of the Carmex. If I go a few hours without Chapstick, my lips burn like crazy.

Since I have to shop more "organic" stores, I switched to a soybean oil version. I find that I can go longer between applications. But since you have to be there two hours before the flight leaves, plus the flight time, that's still a long time to ask me to go without a lip product.

Is it a medical problem? No, I don't have a doctor's note saying it's medically necessary for me to have a lip product in hand. I'm just trying to find out if it's true.

I also hear that after you go through the terminal screening, you could be screened again at the gate for liquids. That's going to hurt businesses that sell drinks inside the terminal. Besides, it just sucks. Can't they just accept that if you made it through the first checkpoint liquid free, it's conceivable that you just bought this drink? Or are they assuming that you were able to get past the checkpoint because they're incapable of finding your liquids?
