This Woman Shared How TSA Stopped Her For A Black Hair Care Item In Her Bag, And It's Tiring


“I think the larger picture is this is a very simple example of why representation matters. I had instances where TSA made me throw away other hair tools commonly used by Black women because they deemed it ‘dangerous’ just because they didn’t know what it was,” Jill told BuzzFeed. “I think the agent using it as a teaching moment was a good way to rectify the situation so in the future, he won’t continue holding up the line for the same reason.”

She shared in her video caption that her Afro pick had been confiscated when she left Mexico because airport security deemed it a weapon.
