I've been carrying small bars of soap in my carry-on for years. A security officer in Brisbane the other day decided it was a gel and thus needed to go in my liquids baggy and get re-xrayed.

I didn't have the heart to tell him there was a second bar of soap in my bag that he missed

The same officer decided my asthma inhaler had to go into it's own baggy? I have no idea what logic/(un)thinking is behind that.
