Here's the funny part:
At LGA last weekend, I was exiting the secure area and saw a TSA guy and a beverage delivery contractor at a closed x-ray machine. The delivery guy was running his crates of Pepsi drinks through the x-ray machine while the TSO watched the screen. Apparently, all merchandise sold post-security must be screened.
But then why can't we just bring it through ourselves? Are we so much less trustworthy than Mr. Joe Beverage Delivery Supply?
I suppose it's possible that they might loosen the liquid restrictions at some point. But for me, the highest priority is getting rid of the SHOE CARNIVAL!
