It's worth the wasted 3 dollars to go through security with a full open monster energy drink and have them try to figure out how to send it through the xray machine...during which it falls over and spills everywhere.
 
I just few STL-MCI-STL... leaving STL the TSA experince was a total mess as always. I took a complete computer over to my EX , tower, 19 LCD monitor, keyboard and mouse. I had more trouble getting my belt and keys thru security than the computer items. TSA never looked at the computer it just went thru the xray. However my belt, keys and wallet were put thru second screening. Leaving MCI I noticed that the secuirty personnel were NOT TSA but a private company. Not as many standing around , much more professional and polite. The line moved fast, my belt, keys and wallet were not searched. I picked up a Mac Mini while in KC and it came thru with no second inspection . GO FIGURE. Apple is so good as putting all items in that small case I dont think any xray could break it down but it went thru just like my dirty underwear.
 
CMH. Doesn't surprise me. CMH, BTV, and HPN all went to the same "how to piss off the public" school and graduated with flying colors.
 
I'll second that, went through BTV the other week and they wanted me to ditch my coffee. I refused and made them call over the supervisor and we all went through the SOP together. In the end they decided it's up to them in each individual station how the SOP is interperated. I got to keep my coffee... but just this once. god, I hate morons.
 
In Oakland, Ca, I was in my civilian clothes, flying positive space, so I had to go through the painful way. I started counting how many blueshirts were just standing around while there was only one guy checking tickets. I counted with my finger pointing, and when I got to the last guy, who was standing way over in a useless corner, I reached the number 5. He noticed my pointing finger and promptly walked over and said "Excuse me, but do you have something to say?"
I said no.
He said, " If you have a problem, why don't you just come out and say it to my face!"
Lets just say that things weren't pleasant after that. The people in line behind me were shaking their heads. This guy was a thug before the TSA said come on down, and still is.

Then why have a SOP if each station makes their own rules anyway?
