Agreed. She used her God-given brain to assess the "threat" and saw that it wasn't and let it pass. That's what SHOULD be done. At least it wasn't blind obedience to a stupid rule.
However, I'm sure the rule is there for stupid folks who think a sandwich bag is a threat but a quart sized bag isn't.
