Well, then clearly the only reason liquids would make it through the checkpoint without being removed is due to a detection failure, right?

I am not the only person here claiming that they routinely forget or deliberately refuse to remove liquids from cabin baggage at the checkpoint. What is your explanation for the number of us experiencing a near 100% detection failure rate at multiple airports around the country?
