I think AIT is needed, sooner rather than later. I believe that new liquid screening technology is sorely needed (Only because TSO's get the sharp end of that stick). I believe that we do not do enough in the intel arena, but I'm not sure. I also believe that we don’t get paid enough for the job that we do (who dosen’t believe this for their job?).

We do quite a bit of training, but more is needed. And not recurring training but threat specific training. The more specific the better. I know that the TSA’s lines of communication could be a lot better than it is, specially considering the level of today’s technology.

Not the answer you were expecting? That’s because I smell fish here.

Its 3.4 ounces or larger. And I offer the passenger options.

1. Abandon it here and the TSA will deal with it.
2. I will deny the item access to the sterile area and escort the item and the passenger out of the sterile area and the checkpoint and ask the passenger to do with it as they will.

All of that is assuming that your theoretical liquid is not an inherent hazard to the airport or an illegal substance. If it is either then the issue becomes complicated.

Happy now? Is that your last question? Will you please put me on your ignore list now?
