Oh Panama!

So recently in Panama with my fam, we learned that liquor must be in a checked bag. That may seem obvious, but I'm talking about 2-3 oz bottles of liquor that can actually be purchased from that very airport. It was in a carry on, so they confiscated them and threw them away! I think it kind of depends on who you have as a TSA agent, because someone else was telling us to just check the bag, but the woman we had was super rude and refused and just proceeded to throw our items away. Oh, including my 10+ year old nail kit that I carry with me EVERYWHERE! It was literally just small nail scissors, 2 files, and tweezers. RIP to them. PLUS after you get through TSA, your stuff has to get scanned again at your gate! Too much trouble at the Panama airport for me.
