If your prescription toothpaste is that much of a major concern to you, then pack it in your checked luggage. You can transport 4 gallons of it there if you like, the TSO’s wont care. But don’t tell me that your 7 ounce tube of toothpaste is a medical necessity during your flight. Sophistry is the most polite response you are likely to get.

He's a former E-5 (Staff Sergeant) Air Force MP and that makes him a "Security Expert".

Just ask him!
and apparently a dentist in a previous life as well
