Where are the TSA suppose to pour the bottle out? Mix it in a container with all the other items? or create environmental pollution by using the sink.
How would the TSA even know the contents are safe enough to open or mix.
Insisting on how it is destroyed is rather ironic, since the item was not allowed to taken through in the first place.
End of the day, if you attempt to take it pass the TSA and it is not allowed, you loose it, end of story.
We all know the rules by now, and if you are unsure, you check it in.
