In this forum, TSA just cannot win, no matter the measures it tries. “Fair” is not a word 99% of those posting here comprehend, but they sure can abuse it.
I'm no 'behavior expert', but I can usually pick out which TSO will call for a bag check if I fail to take the liquids baggie out of my carry-on, and which ones will let it pass through.
