I want to carry my 16oz. bottle of water on board. Someday, the stupidity saying I cannot will end. but until then, I don't.
Virtually all checked bags are inspected outside of the view of their owner.
Even before the TSA idiocy, I wouldn't have dreamed of standing shoulder to shoulder with the bag inspector. I stand back to keep a wider field of view, and watch intently.
