Specifically I was talking about the people on this board that are sneaking bottles on just to see if they can etc. That was taken in the context of what was posted in MP #2.
The airline didn't make the rules - it's a dumb rule yes, and maybe they should find out a better way to not enforce it, but regardless it's the "idiot" who broke the rules and caused 100 people to have hours of their day wasted.
