Liquids: The Truth please...

TSO's seem to have relegated enforcement of the liquids rules behind the new priority of partaking in sexual molestation, and who can blame them - looking for 1 oz. bottles of shampoo vs. feeling up a nice tight arse??? and getting paid for it. THere's only one other profession where that happens, right commuters?

I have been inadvertently been ignoring the requirement to remove my liquids from my carry on at the czechpoint for some months (years) now, and this has not been a problem. My reasoning is that I am perfectly happy to watch the american security establishment waste their time taking my liquids out of my bag, re-running them through the xray, swabbing them, whatever. It's not my problem anyway, right? Anyway, I am a little disappointed in that no TSO has detected the liquids. I gather that others are also leaving their liquids in their bags without any consequence. THis makes me happy, but I'd like to hear from our TSO friends whether or not it is now TSA policy to ignore the presence of liquids in bags, or if they are deliberately ignoring rules/regs and therefore at risk of losing their jobs, jail time, etc.
