If this happens often enough, maybe the airlines will start squealing about how ridiculous the restrictions are to the TSA.

Then again, the TSO who ransacked through my bag at the gate-check opened my bathroom kit, but didn't bother checking/opening a plastic trash bag that had a pair of shoes in it.
