Now, from the threads on here, I would assume they test it in the same way that they "test" drinks purchased on the secure side - by holding a strip above the container and allowing the vapor to interact with the strip (and by chasing down everyone in a game of tag rather than periodically testing soft drink dispensers and randomly selected bottled or canned beverages, of course).
Glaucoma is a serious disease - blindness isn't worth the risk. This is just another example of how TSA actively makes our lives more dangerous.
I would love it if they told me they needed to test my sterile side drink. I would chug it, hand them the empty and walk away. Couldn't do that with a Starbuck's hot coffee, though.
Spot on about the glaucoma. My Father-in-law used multiple expensive prescripted drops to control his.
