So you don't think it's relevant to explain to most screeners that the word "ounce" can be used to refer either to weight, or to volume ... and since TSA restricts LGAs based on volume, it might be relevant to make sure that when something says "4 ounces" on the label, that they're referring to the volume instead of weight?
