Do you really think that some federal judge is going to determine that your judgment that a liquid ban is unnecessary should be given precedence over the judgment of the federal agencies involved that it was necessary (because of the difficulty of liquid screening for these readily available ingredients)?

As I said, you're tilting at windmills if you think such a lawsuit has any chance in hell of success.
Which is completely bogus on the government's part. Chemists know that there is no such thing; that is, the supposed reaction the government is "protecting" against cannot be done on a plane, because (among other things) it requires stability and more ice than a 747 carries.
