Pepper spray doesn't "accidentally" discharge. It's specifically designed not to for obvious reasons. Even the civilianized versions aren't just aim and shoot. And if the bottle was damaged and leaking, only the person picking it up and maybe one other would be affected. Not FIVE.
Don't try to apply logic or rational behavior to the TSA. The other five
may have been just innocent[
sic] victims, but this clown is apparently a highly-trained BDO

and should be demoted back down to the baggage hall.
Even if you're
certain it's a laser pointer, you DO NOT point it at anyone else.
Indicative of the general intelligence level of TSA workers I suppose.
