While I agree with your arguments and grievances I disagree with your methods. Too adversarial. Just an opinion.

- drivebyacct2 14y agoHow so? What else are we supposed to do? They're going to do as they please until someone with authority makes it expensive or impossible for them to do so.
- holograham 14y agospecifically the tone of the overall post and the lack of fact citing for his policy recommendations. Why the 1 quart rule? Why not 2 quarts? 3 quarts? ... I am in 100% agreement that the TSA's policies are mostly erroneous and devoid of logic but my recommendation is combat them with objective facts and logic with a touch of social awareness.
- mgkimsal 14y agoThe 1 quart may have been specifically tailored to his own requirements, but I can imagine that many people, for most flights, would be fine with medical liquid amounts of 1q or smaller. Trying to bring a gallon or two of something on a plane just may not be practical, regardless of the medical necessity, and other transport might be required. But... the 3oz rule has struck me as stupid from day one.
- dthunt 14y agoHis suggestion was for testing containers, if there is a legitimate security concern. This takes less time than arguing over a 2 liter of aloe juice and ends any inquiry there without violating privacy. That having been said, I don't think it's the best solution, but it seems to be a minor improvement in most cases, and a very big one in a few others.
- pekk 14y agoCan you provide any more specific justification for the specific measure of liquid to allow, or is it just going to be what you can imagine seems reasonable to you?
- mgkimsal 14y agoIt's just what seems reasonable to me, which is how I was assuming the OP was justifying his 1 quart recommendation.
- saizai 14y agoMy basis was just their current policy: you're allowed 1 quart of non-medical liquids separated into 3 ounce containers. (/eyeroll) I'd be fine if they want to change the limit. My point is simply that they should test the liquid for whether it's an explosive or not, rather than limiting non-explosives you can carry or who can carry them.
