That is a topic in itself - everything the TSA does is pure security theater. There was never any danger from liquids nor any effort to prevent groups of people from coordinating to bring in a larger quantity. There is no explanation why 8oz of milk is dangerous and 8oz of cheese is not, nor why ice continues to be dangerous even though not a liquid, nor any explanation why the bbq sauce on the pulled pork sandwich I’m bringing on is magically not dangerous even though there is more then 100ml of it. I’m convinced it’s more or less a plot to sell $7 sodas in the terminals. Batteries were dangerous and had to be removed until Apple started making devices without removable batteries then magically they are not dangerous anymore. Next you had to start turning your devices on as-if somehow it was impossible to make something dangerous that didn’t turn on. Security theater. I used to have to take my belt and shoes off every time I passed through security but because I paid a $120 fee now I’m not dangerous anymore and can walk through security. I get to skip to the head if the line at the security checkpoints and coming back from international flights I get to breeze through the diplomatic lane at JFK (you can too! https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/how-apply https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-...) Security theater. I could go on for a while.
