Security in other nations for flights to the US are required to meet TSA standards, but - with their own variation of rules. They vary from country to country so the TSA doesn't try to address the details.

Seriously? What security threat is Duct Tape?
Doesn't matter. Their rules don't have to, as long as TSA has accepted them.

Can do the eating and meeting without diving. Warm water for me is ehhh. I'm more happy on a wreck in 40 some degree water 100 feet down. Big animals? Ok but you can get them in the Atlantic or Pacific without having to take the passport. For me a fish is a fish except for Great Whites and whale sharks. It is to each his own. The engine room of the Keystorm in the St Lawrence, for me, is better than any wall.
They're all good: St.Lawrence, North Carolina, Seattle, CA Channel Islands, Florida, along with many international Caribbean destinations - in varying ways. Getting to & from Coz can be a little more hassle, but still a good trip and good diving.

what I have always wanted to know is what is done with all that stuff they (usa included) steal from you? I bet they divide it up amongst themselves at the end of the day....
Or before? The security company may have their own outlets for marketing their finds, but I bet the agents keep a lot.

So why were they charged a fee for carry-on? Different airline? Some do. The restrictions on what can be in carry-ons are well advertised in the terminal...

They personally asked each in line to read this sign...

It's 2 or 3 flights from here to any good diving, so I have sampled many, yes - and it's been great. I'd love to dive more of the atolls in Belize.

I'm curious what's wrong with the many non-Caribbean international destinations.
I duno - what...??

Just makes it sound like there's nothing else good out there.

Read into it as you wish, and I'm sure you will. I was just speaking about the ones I've tried.

I did. Was all set to pay for a trip to Raja Ampat and Lembeh, but since you said it's no good I canceled and forfeited a huge deposit. You should make it right and send me a check.
 
What I would like to have is consistency in enforcement. If you can't take batteries in your carry-on, allen wrenches or duct tape, I want it to be well communicated and enforced consistently. If you can't take them in your checked, I want to know.

It's OK, if whatever country doesn't go with the TSA rules, as long as we know what to expect when we get to the gate.

Publish the rules and enforce the rules consistently.
