It's been over 20 years since 9/11 and yet we are still experiencing the aftermath of that tragedy. Some might even go so far as to say we are being victimized yet again. Especially when it comes to traveling. We all know that Homeland security and was created after 9/11 to help curtail the threat of another attack or at least that is what they would like us to believe. And TSA increased their strictness on what you can and cannot bring on an airplane for seemingly that same reason. I am all for increasing safety but my biggest issue is after all this time we still cannot bring water through security. So you're trying to tell me that TSA and Homeland security cannot figure out a way how to test water to determine whether or not it is an agent that can be used to bring down a plane? They pull out their little gadget to swab your hands and swab your suitcase when they suspect that you might have been handling bomb making material so why they can't develop something to determine whether or not your water is a solution that can be used to bring down the plane? To me the easiest way to test that is to just have people take a drink of their water. But we all know water is not the issue.
The issue is that 911 created an opportunity for airport vendors to capitalize on the restrictions.
After 9/11 a lot of things were just ruled out as inadmissible to take on a plane. A lot of people's stuff was thrown away because they did not meet the three ounce requirement even though the container may say more than 3 oz you can clearly see that the item in the container was less than 3 oz but they just had you throw it away anyway. It's almost like they could not think for themselves. What TSA reps failed to understand is that guidelines are something that you use as a gauge. You have to use your own judgment to determine what fits and what doesn't fit. But like so many people today, they cannot think for themselves and have to rely on a script so to speak in order to do their jobs. I can't tell you how many times people have echoed that they have to throw away their food because a TSA agent determined that it was not suitable to go on the plane. I myself had to throw away food that you obviously can look at it and tell it is food and nothing that you can use to bring down a plane.
Bottomline is after 21 years TSA and Homeland security needs to develop a formula to help determine whether or not our water is safe for consumption. It's not fair for us to have to pay $5 or $10 for a bottle of water at the airport when we could get that same bottle of water at a convenience store for a buck and a half. I'm just saying. I got issues, what about you?)i(
