Couldn’t you have dumped it out in there or was there not one?
Guess.
Also, I would have just shoved it in a bag.
This accomplishes what? The only bags you have available at a TSA checkpoint are carry on. I didn’t check it because was keeping the bottle with me for the flight, that was the whole point.
It was a cheap bottle and I replaced it on the company dime anyway, so for me it wasn’t a real loss. What I was illustrating was that right or wrong, if a stupid TSA agent makes a decision, you are in for a headache.
I’ve also had them also almost take Torx bits (they insisted they were drill bits) and a multimeter away from me. Those ones I actually waited for a supervisor to show up and let me through, but it again illustrates that you aren’t dealing with the top of the class here.
I see your point, the agents aren’t really well trained typically. It is less than ideal. If creates hassle for your average flyer and doesn’t significantly improve safety. The fact that I have taken liquid through over the limit demonstrates that.
And yes, I meant your carry on bag. I didn’t even think that could have been interpreted in another way. I only fly carry on so the thought of checked bags wasn’t in my mind lol.
