After hearing about the Sock Monkey and Woody weapon confiscations, I think I know how TSA will guard against the toothpaste/sunscreen substitution scenario:
You will be asked to rub your sunscreen onto your teeth, and they will shine a uv tanning light on your teeth. If your teeth do not get sunburned, you will be allowed to procede to your gate.
