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.
