Liquids testing at the gate?

A friend of mine on DL1082 today told me security came on board and checked the liquids of passengers who had bought their liquids after they had gone through security. I've never heard of this happening before.
EDIT: I was mistaken. The check was done at the gate. Details below.

Sorry, I must clarify.
I just spoke to my friend again. The security check was not on-board. It was done while the passengers were waiting online at the gate. The security agents first tested only the passengers who had open beverages. Then the agents asked if anyone had unopened beverages and went through everyone again. Still odd.

Not sure how long it took. They poured a small amount of the liquids into some kind of test bowl and added a chemical. They did not require people to open their carry-ons.

total theatre, total inconsistency and a baloney sandwich on rye
see these posts for more "logic"....:rolleyes: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/11813617-post37.html All of the vendor products that enter the sterile area at my airport are screened by the TSA, at the checkpoint. Water, burgers, wine, beer, water, Snickers Bars. All of it. Do we open the water bottles? Nope. The vendor knows where they got it from, and from whom. It’s all a part of the layered security process, the vendor’s vendors are given background screening, as are the vendors employee’s, and we still screen everything they bring in. Is it a perfect system? Nope, there is no such thing. So how specifically are the vendors' bottles of water "screened by the TSA?" Do you ETD each one of them? What I have seen is the delivery person roll up to the checkpoint with a pallet of water, present some paperwork and off he goes. Is that your airport's procedure? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/11815290-post43.html Your not going to like the only answer I can give. That would be revealing specifics of procedure, and I cant go there. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/11815365-post44.html I have watched a vendor roll up with a cart loaded with various beverages at a very large airport. Right through the checkpoint, no one checked anything. Not the person pushing the cart, not what was on the cart and no kind of paper work was presented. That is security as provided by TSA. |
I heard about a cup of coffee being tested at the gate the other day, but I wasn’t able to get any details. Sounds like a nice theatre recreation of cops testing for stuff on TV shows.

All I know is that I bring quite a bit of distillery product on board (due to the combination CF of the TSA and the airliens). Hope this doesn't set off alarm bells in their Kindergarten chemistry set.

If you've expressed breast milk, so as not offend the anti-breastfeeding prudes, you'll have to taste it before boarding.
