Meanwhile, I am going to express my disgust by giving these fake LEO's a hard time every opportunity I get, which for the next month is going to average out to four times a week. That's sixteen opportunities to test them and make fools of them.
You may bring a bottle of contact solution that is over 3.4 ounces if you are saying it is medically necessary. Remove it from your bag, claim your exemption. It will be screened via some sort of liquid screening and if it passes the test you are permitted to take it inside and on board with you. I have only told one person they couldn't take their contact solution, it was over sized and alarmed liquid screening, I told her it was going to alarm and when it did she would be subject to SSSS screening; She said "I want you to test it." There simply isn't enough personnel to do additional screening on every persons water bottle or can of hairspray.

Don't test the system. You will end up like that Hays woman with her civil fine for interference. There are Civil Fines associated with "testing the system."
