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?
Really? So you claim to be from my part of the world; at MUC yesterday the woman in front of me had her liquids in a mesh bag and in a shower cap. She was sent back to check her items or to purchase a bag from the automat.
(All of this was done very politely and professionally) At MUC, LHR, and most of the international airports I transit, the rule is a one litre bag and they do enforce it.
Many here have not been able to pass through TSA checkpoints with bags as you describe. But you simply support our argument that the TSA is very inconsistent with how they apply their own rules. Thank you for making our case.
