hmmm

A couple of things about this. First there is the fact that a lot of the things that are not allowed on the airplane are not considered haz mat because of the quantity. For example if you had a 5 oz container of gasoline in your bag, it would not be allowed because it is over the 3.4 oz limit but by ground rules it isnt considered a haz mat because of the amount in respect to (DOT) regulations.
The second thing is that once TSA has acquired your liquids, TSA has nothing more to do with it. The local airport takes over to decide what to do with it.
