AMS has had a long hard talk with the rentacops at the gates (they told me that) and they now are very insistent on taking out liquids again. They wanted me to repack it all in a plastic back and weren't satisfied when I simply opened my toiletries back. I refused politely and expected it to be in vain but oddly enough it wasn't... My mother who played along with them had to repack everything.
