Also surely the TSA should regularly test the terminal air quality so as to ensure there is no contamination of the 'tests'.
Regular food container plastics like polypropolene and polyethelene have good compatability with H2O2 even at a 100% concentration.but don't try it with an acetal plastics like polyoxymethylene.
