Lesso2 -"There are TSAers in here that are aghast that there are still people who do not know or adhere to the liquid policy. Those people not following the liquid nonsense guidelines are mostly adults."
Whenever I have an issue with liquids or solids, for that matter, it has been my experience that it is the TSA agent that is unfamiliar with the rules. Even when I show them definitions from third party sources, they are unconvinced. I shutter to think that illiteracy plays a part in their ignorance.
Fact, there is a difference between a liquid ounce and a weight ounce.
Fact, 100 ml does not 3 oz liquid make.
Until the Department of weights and measures redefines the International standards, I must again, based on my experience, place the burden of ignorance where it belongs. Although I do agree that the children will further complicate the security screening procedure, it is because the children that I know also know the difference between a liquid and solid measure, and the conversion of metric to imperial or the other way around.
