In the early days of the liquids lunacy, there were arguments that it discriminated against women, who were more likely to carry moisturizers, liquid makeup, etc, but it obviously didn't make an impact on the policy.

Cynically, I view this as a way for TSA to keep checking for drugs in the post-Fofana era. If they can claim that a powder could be a weapon, they can justify the cocaine busts and keep trumpeting their "successes".
