Went through DFW,EWR,FLL,PBI,IAH and nary a word about anything, let alone food.

I went through PHX and they were hot on food being screened by itself.

I did ask why the change and at least the guy making the announcement was honest, he had no clue, his supervisor said to ensure it happened and he was ensuring that it happened.

I had a Granola bar at the bottom of my bag and I explained that it was at the bottom of my bag and I would need to step aside to dig it out.

He thought for a second and said, don't worry about it, if the person monitoring the x-ray machine wants to see it, you can worry about it then.

My bag went through, no worries by the female operating the X-ray machine and off I went.

Having said all of that, PHX is the same airport when TSA switched to matching boarding pass with IDs, they allowed me to show my Costco card in lieu of any official form of ID due to my wallet somehow falling into my checked luggage (thought I had lost it).

I was in awe at the time, but nothing TSA does really amazes me anymore.
