I only pointed out to them that I'd taken the containers on numerous flights, including through ATH and CHQ within Greece.
They wanted me to take my camera and lens out. Whatever, I didn't say anything to them about it.
They didn't have me remove my shoes and only once had to remove my belt out of the 3 times I flew out of Greek airports.
There are no consistent standards.
And no, I didn't have cross words ("hissy fit") with them at all. I am pointing it out here an instance of a standard being applied that I've not seen anywhere else.
