Why go to the problem - if you check the TSA website it specifically states, "no liquids or gels" NOT PASTE. I agree that there are two types of toothpaste - Gels and Pastes, but neither are marked in volume ounces - THEY ARE MARKED IN WEIGHT OUNCES.

TSA is the most robot driven organization I have ever seen shy of the Village Idiot. There is absolutely no consistacy in their application of STATED RULES AND POLICIES. Everytime you go through an airport screening it is a GAMBLE as to their attitude or training. Who are they protecting us or their jobs.
