I just saw a young couple trying to pass airport security and being forced to throw the home made jelly from his grandma out the trash because the jelly recipient, even if small, had no size markings, so there was no way of knowing it was under 100ml (it definitely was). Police was called to assess the situation and they ruled in favor of throwing it out.

Seriously, how did we get here? How in the world is this normal or acceptable?
It isn't. Unfortunately people will comply for convenience.. We've all done it. I recently complained about the request to remove my leather belt because it had a simple, metal buckle. I still removed it just to get on my way! Sad
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless.
If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever.
George Orwell, 1984
I'd have opened it up and started eating it with my fingers right there.
Screw airport security!
Thus the U.S. government continues it's daily terrorization of Americans long after the death of Osama bin Laden...
If you can’t pay thousands for first class, air travel is just miserable in every way now.
TSA made me throw out 4 oz of unopened hummus.
