Most people, when joining an online community, would spend some time learning about it before throwing one's expertise around. You, on the other hand, have chosen to assert your "expertise" almost from the beginning.

Now, having been caught making an embarrassing mistake, you want us to give you a pass.

I'm not sure if you spend time here on your own accord, or because your employer has asked TSO's to start posting on sites like this one as a counterpoint to all the anti-TSA posts. If it is the former, I would recommend taking a little more care in asserting your expertise, until such time you have some. If it is the latter, I do sincerely feel sorry for you that your employer has sent you on a mission with so little training.
