This is one screening procedure I will not comply with. I'll dump my drink, or chug it, or whatever, but nobody is going to wave some kind of chemical test strip over something I'm about to ingest, or worse, dip the strip into it.
It has to be far more likely that the TSO does something to endanger you via your beverage than for the Coca Cola Company to alter your drink.
