Are you saying that TSA actually has a SSI directive on how to handle hazmats separate from ORDINARY LIQUIDS?
If TSA says "this item is hazmat and must be handled as such" and "this item is not hazmat and can go in the trash to a landfill without violating EPA regulations" then you have just proved three things.
1. TSA can differentiate between hazardous and nonhazardous liquids at a checkpoint.
2. A "ordinary liquid" as you say is a liquid safe enough to go to the landfill, does not pose a danger to the plane, and the entire Liquid Ban is a fraud.
3. Kip Hawley is an Idiot who flunked chemistry and got a political patronage appointment because of who he knows, not what he knows.
