It's simple - woman shows up with baby, has small cup of water (which she offers to drink), screener says 'please bring the baby's liquids through in an approved container next time' and sends passenger on her way. Done. No issue.
I agree with you

also I was in NJ last week for training and one of the other trainees hasnt flown recently. Knew nothing about the 3 3 1 rule. Said she flew out of north or south Carolina somewhere. Carried bottled water thru checkpoint with no issues. We encouraged her to repack her luggage because she had her make up and hair essentials in her carrry on for her trip back ( she had packed them in her checked luggage on her way out on her trip.

I understand the need to be deligent, for safety sake. This whole thing escalated for what reason?
