Can i bring soap? the one that is in a bar?
In checked baggage, Yes.
If I carried bottles of 50 milliliters, why did they take them away from me? It happened last week. Possibly, what destiny has what they take from you?
How many bottles were? Everything they take from you is burned or processed in special facilities.
I do not remember, but, on the whole, did not exceed the limit of 1 liter. I forgot to mention in my previous comment that the bottles were made of disinfectant gel. How do those at the airport want you to have your hands clean if they take away your implements?? How do I choose the right product?? The label of many of them ensures that they are to take on the plane. I've heard that liquids should go in a zipper bag; maybe that influenced his decision to take my things from me.
For the amount they took it from you, if you wore 4 small bottles you had no problems. I have traveled in this time of pandemic with a bottle of 100mls and it is more than enough for the entire trip, In addition, at airports there are disinfection points where you can use it at no cost..
I forgot it: I don't know in Argentina, but in china, where i was, check computers and chargers. How risky these implements can be?
Inside the laptops or chargers you could hide drugs or explosives, are global security measures. Even iPads are reviewed.
Silly stuff. And the gunpowder? They can take it distributed in packages attached to the body. A fine, It seems more like a strategy of the airport stores to charge us for water to 400 euros per liter.
From what you say, there are security filters to detect behaviors like the one you indicate.
