First of all, this is typical of the TSA focusing on the non threats so the real threats (dishonest SIDA card holding airport employees, unscreened cargo...) to make darn sure that no one blows up an airplane with 3.5 ounces of cshampoo or toothpaste, and anyone pointout out a REAL threat is promptly harrassed and inconvnienced. If you had turned in a full bottle of Prell, you probably would have been shot right then and there.
