I'm sure he's a terrorist trying to sneak in explosive eyedrops. He's lucky he didn't get sent to Guantanamo.

LET THAT BE A LESSON TO THE TERRORISTS!!!

And you didn't read about any terrorists hijacking airplanes that day, did you?

There's a pretty good discussion of the whole security scam here.

 

[labbats]

So what's to stop several terrorists from each bringing 3 oz of whatever they want and adding it together?

One other thing... people hired at TSA get full retirement after 2 years (or close to it). Your tax dollars at work.

Was this bag requirement for pax only?

I have some tiger repellent that is guaranteed to work in any state except for California. I can prove it works because no one who has ever used my tiger repellent has ever been attacked by a tiger.

The TSA agent is an idiot. The guy should of asked the agent, "What is the purpose of the 1 qt. size baggie?" I bet the agent would of given him a strange look and couldn't answer the question. He should of asked for his supervisor. Besides, I can't believe that there wasn't any baggies available for the public at security.

 

[DrewBlows]

The quart size bag is the basis TSA uses for determining whether something is 3 oz or less. They judge the size of the bottle in the bag against the size of the bag. Though in my experience TSA uses the writing on the bottle to determine the capacity of the bottle.

Maybe the government and ziploc have secretly changed the material the bags are made out of so they are able to withstand explosions! and all of you smarty pants think there is no good reason for the secret high tech kevlar ziploc bomb resistant bags!

1qt clear plastic bags can absorb the enery of an explosion by a device containing 3oz or less of liquid explosive. I really feel safe when a GS5 Gov't employee looks through my "relax'r" and sulfur 8 hair treatment..... Go TSA bouyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.....

I trust you mean the real terrorists in the DHS who wipe their a$$es with the fourth amendment in the name of job security.

He should have put it in his pocket and walked through the metal detector.

Granted i just spent all night in europe drinking for new years and came straight to the airport and am trying to recover, but this is one of the best threads ever.

I keep a couple of extra 1 qt bags in my case and hand them to pax when they don't have one. Couple of tsa guys gave me a dirty look, guess it's like putting change in a parking meter when the meter maid is getting ready to write a ticket.

Try taking a plain manilla folder and on the inside use folded aluminum foil strips to form the words "F*** TSA" (or something similar). Then put the folder (taped shut) into the outside pocket of your rollaboard. Now, hopefully, (don't know for sure as I've yet to ty it) they will be able to read a secret translucent message designed only for them. Then put a pair of seriously dirty underwear right on the very top of the inside of your bag (or wrapped around a bundle of wires or anything else equally attention worthy) so that when the insulted TSA agent decides to seek revenge by searching your bag he actually ends up having to rifle through your striped undies. Double whammy!

Funniest thing I ever heard TSA tell a passenger.

The passenger brought a gallon size ziploc bag and the TSA person told them it wouldn't work. TSA tells them "next time bring a quart size bag, which is about half the size of the gallon one."
