A bottle of booze: open it before throwing it in the trash can; a cable: find something to cut it in pieces. But I'm not so sure about what I would do with the previously mentioned Gillette cartridges...
When TSA confiscated my soldering iron last Monday, they wouldn't give it back to me to destroy. Said it had to be done on the other side of the checkpoint. Funny thing is that TSA has never confiscated anyone else's soldering iron (electric). Suspect that it was a retaliatory confiscation over the shoes on the belt/bin with another TSO that day.
TSO Pierce wasn't a happy camper that day.
