Most passengers I know, myself included, wouldn’t even understand the relevance of what you said, let alone be outraged by it. Like most passengers I expect, I just assume, like a car, bus, or HGV, the person “at the wheel” is licensed to drive. More so in a highly regulated environment.

Years ago there was a story in the US about a chap who brought a frozen bottle of Whisky (I think) to the airport. He took it through as hand-baggage, and had a huge argument with the TSA.
His point, was that the liquid was no longer a liquid. It was a solid.
Their argument, was flawed.
He won, and took it onboard.

EDIT: I'm trying to find the story online, but can't find it on Google. It made a few newspapers.

I won in the end, but after a significant argument.
TSA are fun at times.

Which I think neatly illustrate the stupidity about obsessing about bottles of water, while allowing 95% of test weapons and explosives through.

Almost had a mini DYKWIA moment this morning at T3 security. Fast-track was queuing out the door (no surprise there, awful design layout) so went around to normal security and there was only one person ahead of me, took my toiletries and iPad out and was told I had to transfer all my toiletries into a plastic zip lock bag and have it sealed or none would be allowed through. For reference I have one of those see-through plastic pouches which Nivea (and others) sell with mini-toiletries specifically (in my opinion) for airport security and I have passed through about 30 airports with the said see through pouch with no issues, but this security lady this morning decided it was not within spec.
