Can you imagine the backup created scanning tubes of toothpaste, water etc. (probably an average of 4-8 per passenger) at 30 seconds each?
Even if they work as advertised, this is probably why they are not "out there".
Now this is funny: your conclusions is what i have said over the months in multiple threads as to why TSA will not test all LGAs, despite a few forms of technology being out there. Like you say, as I have said, it's too time consuming. But I also think it's your time, so if it were up to me I would allow all LGAs and however long it takes to get through the checkpoint, so be it.
But pretty much everyone here disregarded what I have said, even you. I guess now you have had a change of heart?
