If you'd like to explain to TSA how idiotic this is, you'll have to wait your turn. Read more here.
The TSA website clearly states, "3.4 ounce bottle or less (by volume)" and toothpaste is not marked by volume but weight (grams). I think the next time I get this Cr-p from TSA I am going to ask them to pull out their measuring cup or give me their name and badge number.
