Hence my point about encouraging pax to check larger bottles, and sending them from x-ray to a separate ETD queue if they have any over 4 oz. in their carry-ons to examine. I would prefer to wait a few more minutes at security for the times I really need to travel with more than 4oz of something than to have to check it.
