Good point. Up to now, it's merely inconvenient to check a bag because of a small amount of liquid. If it costs money on top of that, people will be tempted simply to take low-value liquid items through screening and risk confiscation. I don't think the TSA will be happy about this, and it will indeed slow things down for everyone.
