Imaginary remonstration with an airport security official:
Was it really necessary to throw all of my toiletries away? And with quite so much contempt? Somehow being in a one quart clear plastic ziploc bag makes my half-empty deodorant, travel size toothpaste and mini bottle of sunblock benign and safe, but in a one quart clear plastic bag with a knot in it they become deeply dangerous. The exact same clear plastic bag that I took on the exact same flight six weeks ago? I note that my contact lenses were not imbued with the same life-threating properties, despite being inside the same iniquitous enclosure. But I'll spare you the logical objections. America is, and remains safe, thanks to your actions.
I guess I can accept that you are enforcing the letter, not the spirit of the law. But did you need to be so unpleasant about it? Did someone leave a human turd on your doorstep? Someone should.
