I think I'd be relatively happy if TSA would focus on stopping terrorist attacks instead of focusing on catching a non-regulation tube of toothpaste. If they were less distracted looking for my 500 ml bottle of water that I picked up at NRT and forgot to remove from my bag prior to re-clearing security for my connecting flight, they might be more likely to catch something that would actually be harmful.
BTW, TSA has not yet discovered any prohibited items I have accidentally put in my carry on, including the aforementioned bottle of water.
