And You Thought the TSA Was Stupid...

Last night, flying FRA-LHR, so subject to the extra US+UK security check.

Go through with no liquids.

My bag is opened AFTER x-ray.

He eventually finds my SOLID deodorant (with which I have travelled through tons of airports in the US, UK, and Continental EU with know issues), and looks pleased with himself.

He proceeds to walk over to the X-ray monitor, take a plastic bag, place my deodorant in the plastic bag, place the plastic bag in my bad, and send me on my way.

Thank you for the plastic bag to keep my solid deodorant from leaking, oh kind stranger.
