This is a really poor quiz and some of the answers are incorrect.

For example, the quiz says that salsa is the answer to "which one of these items is not allowed through security" (the choices are your pet pig, peanut butter, salsa, or live lobsters). The correct answer is salsa AND peanut butter. In the eyes of the TSA both are considered liquids.

Or "you must take which of these items out of your carry-on bag before going through security?" Their answer is ipad, camera, laptop (the other choice is MP3 player). The correct answer is laptop.

Yep -- this survey is a piece of ripe fertilizer aimed at the anything-for-security crowd. In addition to the errors you found (I quit after the peanut butter question), it assumes legitimacy for the TSA and its practices, which is about as far from reality as you can get.

He's just imitating the usual reputation for capriciousness of the TSA screener pool.
