Travel with unmarked containers at your own risk. It seems to be very much about what the screener thinks the rule is.
WHAT? What did you say/do? Did you ask for a supervisor?
Remember: bring your prohibited items list printout and Bart's instructions to speak with a GSC so you know what to do and say when this happens. That is NOT right!!! Plus, it should NOT be up to the screeners to interpret the rules. ARGH!!!
GG <- my troublyness seems to be increasing, LOL
