I also never remove my Kippie bag (small toothpaste tube 'travel' shaving cream) and have not been scolded for it yet.
99% of my flights I don't take the kippie bag out. The only airports to consistently "require" it are SEA and PHX. PHX is about a 70%, and I just got sick of doing the whole song and dance with the TSOs, and SEA is 100%. I mentioned this to the TSO last night in SEA, his response was: "Well, you should feel extra safe flying here."
I couldn't stop laughing.
