My interpretation is that it will be left up to the individual screener to decide whether or not an oversized liquid poses a hazard and should be allowed past the checkpoint.
My response was to Sydneysider who was told that if the
baggie was in the bag, the
baggie would get tossed. That's not gonna happen.

Frankly, I resent being required to participate in an annoying charade with every PAX who brings their toothpaste to the checkpoint.
"Ma'am, this item is over 3.4 ounces and thus is considered potentially dangerous .."
"You can see it's just toothpaste! There's nothing harmful in it. I should be allowed to take it through."
"Well alrighty then! Go right ahead .."
The people who give up their item without a fight are going to be awfully unhappy when they learn later that all they had to do was dispute the TSO's claim that it's dangerous, whereupon they would have been allowed to keep it.
Yep...I am not looking forward to it either.
