Just once I'd like to see them try this on a 'screamer'.
You know, the stereotypical woman who, in a tense situation, immediately starts screaming.
TSA approaches 'screamer' in gate area.
TSO: Ma'am, I need to test that drink for security reasons.
Pax: But I just bought this drink right over there at Starbucks! (voice rising)
TSO: Sorry, Ma'am, it's just one of our many layers designed for your protection. (Actually designed for TSA's protection, each 'layer' is one more chance for us to do our job right and catch anything that we should have caught during a previous layer...).
Pax: (screams, throws beverage) Help! Help! My drink is poisoned! Starbucks has explosives in their coffee! Help! I want my money back!
