They confiscated my 4 ounce bottle of saline, mostly empty, for my ath-zrh flight.

When I pointed out it was almost empty, they said the container is the problem, that 3.4 oz is the limit. I've never run into a problem with a 4 oz bottle at any airport worldwide. In fact the company markets the 4 oz bottles as approved for carry on.

I have taken ATH-JMK flight and CHQ-ATH flights with nobody saying a peep about the bottle.

Then they make you take out my DSLR and extra lens and iPads too. What ever happened to most airports not requiring iPads to be taken out?

Worst of all, the lounges are outside security so you have to allow time for the hassles of getting through security.
