Wow! A 50% hassle factor would be way too much for me for what it essentially a vanity in the truest sense of the word. And the more I fly the more I'd want the hassle factor to be low.

That said, I now usually don't take the ziplocs out of my luggage and the hassle factor has only been around 10% or so for that. When they do pick up on it, I apologize saying I forgot and all is cool. Makes security a good bit easier.

After all they are thinking of abandoning the liquid rule altogether.
