Could it be because I understand the intent of the rules (a few "under 3.4 oz LGA items" that would fit into a quart sized ziploc bag) and therefore have no issues?
To get back on topic - you will never, ever, see the military taking over for TSA.
Well, there's clearly something wrong with the lax security you have encountered. The website is pretty clear on what type of baggie allowed, and I believe one of our other TSO posters has said that an FSD can have 'local' rules, but not ones that are more lenient than the base rules.
Do you just use a wide variety of baggies at your checkpoint, or do you actually find this laxness to be so widespread?
?? Y'all have told us repeatedly that there are many retired or former military folks already working for TSA. Clearly the skillset is a good match and the discipline is a plus.
Do you just not believe it could happen or do you think it would not be a good thing to replace TSA with the military?
