I don't understand why you are annotating at all. It's either of legal size and contents or not. Who cares what it is after is passes security? I don't understand this at all, and the threads I've read don't really explain it.
So if I come through with 4 oz of cough syrup, that's legal, but should be outside of my ziplock bag of toothpaste, hairgel and bbq sauce, and needs to be scribbled on my boarding pass. Why?
