The security guy kept 'wanding' and it would beep everytime it went by my cargo pocket with the squirt gun in it. He grabbed my calf with a quizzical look and asked if I had metal in my leg. I said "No", and he wanded again, it beeped again, he grabbed my calf again. This happened four or five times....HE NEVER CHECKED MY POCKET ONCE. I walked on the plane with the squirt gun.
TSA provides NO security. I can think of many ways to get around these stupid, lazy, stand-around, power trippers. They only accomplish the unthinkable - Americans submitting to brainless authority.
They are doing a pretty good job, judging from some of the responses on this thread.
