Digging them out of baggage is a real time waster.
There is also nothing allowed under, over or inside shoes anymore
So suppose the TSA does find an undeclared liquid. How have they saved ANY time by sending the pax back to the start of the line? They still had to find the liquid, and I don't think going to a 100% confiscation policy is going to fly; the first time they confiscate an undeclared medication, they're going to be sued.
And the shoes bit is the dumbest load of malarky I've ever heard.
It is going to make me need THREE bins: one for my shoes ALONE, one for my coat/hat/anything else loose I'm carrying (like my camera sometimes), and one for my laptop. That's just downright stupid. If my coat or hat somehow obscures the view of my shoes, then perhaps the TSA needs to be training their x-ray operators better. @:-)
