The liquid restriction is just another shortcoming of the TSA that every passenger has to account for. In addition to the shoe nonsense and the laptop removal.
What the TSA doesn't understand is that their lives would be much, MUCH easier if those issues were addressed by buying the proper equipment and not requiring people to account for their shortcomings.
Think about it, if the TSA purchased the equipment to properly scan those items, 90% of the arguments against them would go away.
Not to mention. most importantly, actually improving security.
Yet the TSA finds it more important to purchase police-imitation uniforms and thoses silly "Engage" programs that is wholly putting lipstick on a pig.
I'm hoping Erroll Southers will understand that.
