TSA could make that claim but the facts are that TSA disallows LGA's greater than 100 ml through passenger screening while allowing the same items through checked baggage screening. The rule makes no more sense than the method of disposal. Either a LGA presents a threat or does not and since TSA is only allowed to interdict WEI I cannot understand how TSA can defend their position.
101 ml LGA is ok through this door but not the door next to it. That is TSA's security procedure.
