Since when have bottles in the Kippie Bag required labels? The tsa.gov web page on Kippie Bags (http://www.tsa.gov/311/index.shtm) makes no mention of any such requirement.
Agreed^ and what should have happened is this:

Pax: "Ok, so it's not labeled-just perform your explosives test with the ETD swab on it" (and then wait for the deer-in-the-headlights-look-from-the-TSO-because-the-pax-knows-more-than-they-do-because-the-pax-is-an-experienced-traveler-and-knows-the-rulez)
