Except for a few day trips for work, my last flight was in February of 2008. We had to change terminals during a layover in PHX. My carry on was passing through x-ray when the TSO starting yelling how we were going to make everyone miss their flights. He stopped the belt and began pulling things out of my bag. We have no idea what he saw in the x-ray that caused his reaction but he became even more excited and louder when he found our liquids, all in 3 oz bottles and in the quart size baggie. He opened the baggie and pulled out the bottle marked ‘sunscreen SPF 45’ in black sharpie. He then insisted this meant the bottle was 4.5 oz rather than 3 oz.

To this day, I can’t remember what happened after he found the offensive item but we were allowed to gather our things, including the sunscreen, and go.

I do not believe I am any safer now than I was before TSA. Nothing the TSA is doing will prevent a terrorist from taking down a plane. It would be my preference to do away with TSA.
