Our flight to Honolulu was an early one. We were on holiday so booked a taxi to collect us at 4am. It was in fact an Uber but no bother. The day before we were advised who would be driving us. He arrived early and we were ready early so we left at 3.45am, nice quiet drive that didnt take as long as we thought but better to be early than late.
Going through Customs, I had learnt before that it's shoes off for everyone over twelve so my shoes, perfume and tablet went in one tray handbag and backpack in another. First tray came through but backpack tray went to the side, they put it through again, same thing. Some young girl collected it and asked if I had powder in my bag, I said yes and then indicated that it was in my dilly bag with other toiletries. She took it out and then with the rest of the tray took everything to a machine and proceeded to shake some powder on to a square of kitchen paper and then it went through the machine. I didn't see a negative but she bought it back to me and said it was okay to continue. As I tend to get patted down or a wand passed over me 75% of the times that I fly, it was just a hiccup although that was new.
No other dramas and on to Hawaiian aircraft. I do like them, they have an announcement warning before the meal or drinks service, ten minutes prior saying that it will be commencing and last for approx 30 minutes and ask that no one uses the corridors in that time and surprising no one did and it was a quick service. Wish other airlines would do the same.
