Just another example of security theater.
Actually, NO. I have seen liquid non binary explosives at work and it is not a fallacy. TSA is not sacrificing anything for money, there is a practical approach to everything and this is it, although it is a contradiction. We do have haz mat containers on the floor for those items that fall into that OBVIOUS category. The simple way to think about it is:
It is a liquid, dont know what it is, cant sample it in any manner, it is over 3.4 oz therefore it is not allowed. There is nothing hard about that process and it is deemed as proper by the attorneys at hq.
