Yes, apply common sense to TSA screening rules. Such as prohibiting a 16 ounce bottle of water unless it is divided into several 3.4 ounce bottles and then placed in a zip top baggie so any explosive force will be contained.Originally Posted by AllieKat
1. They clearly say disabling liquids, so citric acid in lemons and stuff doesn't count - it isn't a "disabling liquid" any more than water (both can be in certain situations of course, the US is good at that - see: waterboarding).2.

or
Screen travelers with WBI and pat downs while allowing airport employees to use seperate entrances with no screening.
Common sense is not TSA's strong suite.

There's a lot of common sense around here, just very little of it from our friends at the TSA.

This means nothing. It is only a guideline.
"Screener discretion" trumps everything that is published on the website, including rules about medications or pies.
