So I was going through my umpteenth security screening at the airport when I realized yet another thing very stupid about the “liquid limit” busywork …er, screening the TSA is performing.
Each traveler is limited to 3.4 oz containers which fit in a 1 quart bag. Screeners will pitch an absolute hissy fit if any container is over the 3.4 oz size, yet they all must fit in a one-quart bag. If you can carry a whole quart of explosives (or the far more deadly shampoo), what’s the point of the 3.4 ounce size restriction? Who cares if your liquids are in small bottles if they can all total one quart? Why not just say you’re limited to a total of one quart of explosive shampoo and be done with it?
Sheesh. It’s times like these I wonder if the TSA is nothing more than Bush’s jobs creation program.
“Explosive Shampoo” would be a great name for a band.
And yes, the TSA is the most worthless government agency by far now, and that’s saying something. I’m not looking forward to the flight RDU<->BWI this weekend. Bah.
