I flew from Chicago to Denver a couple days ago and airport security seemed really laid-back, maybe this is why. I wonder if a lot of screeners working at TSA know the new standards are kind of silly and are not really enforcing them any more. It is sort of the American way to passively get out of doing something you know is stupid and if your boss had clue you wouldn’t have to do.
Now if they would just stop enforcing the three ounces rule I would be really happy.
