What I want to know is if they confiscated his toothpaste, did they also confiscate the clear, non-approved bag? And just why is it that one clear bag is approved, and another isn't? And how is it that taking deadly toothpaste from a non-approved, clear bag, and putting into a government approved clear-bag, purchased at the gift shop, renders that deadly toothpaste safe for travel?

I would imagine that some manner of uniformity speeds the process along. Having seen packages slide into the carousel tied with rope, bungy cords and kite string, it isn't hard to imagine some nitwit using a 50 gallon clear plastic bag for a tube of toothpaste and a lipstick.
