TSA's got the 311

3-1-1 gone? 

Not so. While we continue to aggressively work to find a way to relax the 3-1-1 requirements, we know liquid explosives still pose a threat to aviation security. This remains a top priority and TSA is partnering with vendors to find a solution that effectively screens liquids. - TSA blog

I wonder if the TSA employees responsible for upholding, explaining, and enforcing the 3-1-1 rule don't just get "mean fatique." I know I would get really tired of it and find it hard not to start letting it slide.

I remember one time walking by a table where a TSA employee was going through a woman's gigantic tote purse and pulling out full sized hairspray cans, cosmetic bottles... with the owner debating and fighting over every single one. I felt sorry for the TSA employee. That kind of interaction will wear anyone out.

I snipe at the TSA here but no one is nicer to them in person than I am. I don't envy them their jobs.

The entire meme of TSA is anathema to the United States. To the TSA, you are guilty until you prove your innocence.
