Bruce Schneier, security expert and cryppie, interviews the head of the TSA. Question 1:
Bruce Schneier: By today's rules, I can carry on liquids in quantities of three ounces or less, unless they're in larger bottles. But I can carry on multiple three-ounce bottles. Or a single larger bottle with a non-prescription medicine label, like contact lens fluid. It all has to fit inside a one-quart plastic bag, except for that large bottle of contact lens fluid. And if you confiscate my liquids, you're going to toss them into a large pile right next to the screening station -- which you would never do if anyone thought they were actually dangerous.
Can you please convince me there's not an Office for Annoying Air Travelers making this sort of stuff up?
The answer here.
Spoiler: they are, in fact, just making shit up.

This whole series is very good, although Kip Hawley appears to hide behind some political answers (go figure). I really like the advances in behavioral detection.
