Many FTers have had larger bottles make it though screening. The question is whether this happens through screeners excercising judgment, or screeners not doing their job.
The fact that all it take is sticking one of said gels/liquids in one's pocket to defeat the system speaks volumes to how effective the security is.
Add to the fact that while they catch all the shampoo and bottled water, they still have a high failure rate at detecting real bombs.
But We're SaferŪ. Right?
