Passengers really have no recourse when the TSA sets their sights on you.
It's a power trip. Even when they see what the *dangerous* item is, they waste time and taxpayer$$$ swabbing it. Don't they realize an electric toothbrush is just that and not something they need to swab? Do they do it to justify having flagged it? Lack of common sense is now a salaried position
with benefits.
