Don't mean to beat up on the guys and gals at the TSA, but this investigative piece on what a reporter managed to walk through security is a bit of an eye opener.
HINT: To carry >3oz of liquid, use a souvenir type "snow globe". Scissors and pocket knives seem pretty easy to get through "as is".
However, an easier way to get through >3 oz of liquid is just to label it "medical saline solution" . . .medical items aren't covered in the ban.
Forged boarding passes seem pretty easy to use as well. Kinda hard to check names against "the list" when a simple photoshop job will allow any name to be listed on the ticket. The TSA knows this, and their solution? . . . Expand the exact same flawed program to cover private jets and make them pay for it and be responsible for it's implementation.
