I'm glad they did it because the TSA is concerned about my security. The inconvenience and the delay is well worth it if it means no terrorist will ever get through. I have no problems with giving up my rights.






PFFFTT......... sorry.... just wanted to type it to what it is like to have my head up my rear.

I know how you like to dump on TSA whenever you get the chance to Spiff but at least be accurate about it. The terminal wasn't dumped in this case.

So if there was no medical exemption, the bottle would have been in the garbage can with all the other dangerous bottles of water and shampoo. Why the overreaction by shutting down screening?

At some point, you have to think that maybe the checkpoint job is just so boring that they do these things for a little excitement. Because the other explanations are just, um, are.... (what's that?), the other explanations are simply.... huh...

What were the other explanations again???
