Now now, lets not disparage the TSA unnecessarily here. After all, they've never confiscated anything in their history. Passengers merely voluntarily surrender items that Kippie decides they're not allowed to have, because dammit, one day they're gonna figure out how to hijack an airplane with a shampoo bottle! I mean, c'mon!
