I was scolded by a TSA today when I declared my daughter's liquid amoxicillin. I explained to him that it was not in my baggie because it is larger than 3.4 ounces.

He raised his voice and said it needed to be in a baggie.

I explained to him that 150 ml, which is clearly marked on the bottle, was indeed larger than 3.4 ounces.

He told me that it "looked smaller than 3.4 ounces" and I had to place it in my freedom baggie and have it rescreened.

Since we all know that any liquid over 3.4 ounces (100 ml) will bring down a plane, shouldn't a TSA know the rules?
