Photo: The TSA's Liquid Haul

The TSA at Syracuse Hancock International Airport showed off their loot of confiscated items over a three-day period.

In June, a regional Transportation Security Administration spokesperson shared a photo on Twitter of a display of liquid items confiscated over three days by agents at Syracuse Hancock International Airport. Each item in the massive haul, including bottles of water, shampoo, and booze, a jar of peanut butter, and several snow globes, was confiscated for violating the 3.4-ounce liquid limit for carry-ons.

Shut 'em down!

Can we finally rid ourselves of the TSA?

[Moonrocks]

A couple years ago I would have said it could never happen, but I also said the same thing about the covid hijab police.

I work from home providing various internet services for an hourly rate of $80 USD. I never thought it would be possible, but my trustworthy friend persuaded (emu-50) me to take the opportunity after telling me how she quickly earned 13,000 dollars in just four weeks while working on the greatest project.

My local airport recently confiscated my new package of toothpaste. The label said 6.2 ounces. I was not happy. Only bring partial tubes.

[Will Nonya]

It wouldn't matter if the tube were nearly empty, if it's marked with greater than 3.4 ounce capacity it's in violation.

[Stuck in California]

Yeah, I had a discussion about that once while in a stopped line.

The TSA guy said it was dumb, but that's how they did it at that airport. Whatever the container was labeled. He knew straight up that the entire rule was stupid.

At this point it's a rule just for the sake of enforcing rules.

[rbike]

I just went through yesterday with a partially filled tube. From same bulk pack. No issues

[Spiritus Mundi]

Safe and effective!

[Will Nonya]

If you can bring a quarts worth of 3.4 ounce bottles and every other passenger can too then how many tickets do you have to buy before you have a viable amount of liquid to be an actual threat?

I consider this array of confiscated bottles the equivalent of macaroni and glitter "art" on the walls of the special ed classroom.

[cgr2727]

Nah, the poor kids with Downs and other horrible problems are innocent. They didn’t ask to be born that way. The TSA goons on the other hand chose that line of work, and keep showing up voluntarily every day. When you can get an Amazon warehouse job by basically having a pulse, that makes me think most of the goons are in it because they’re lazy and/or enjoy the power trip but were too stupid to qualify for even the local sheriff’s department.

[Ben of Houston]

What gets to me is that they are proud of it. That they think this is evidence of a job well done instead of a waste of taxpayer money. The people involved genuine are so into this that they cannot see this for the complete waste that it is. Protecting us from soap, shaving cream, and aquafina.

[sarcasmic]

Yep. That's the really sad part. They honestly believe that stealing toothpaste makes America safe.

[Mickey Rat]

They confiscated a lot of drinking water, some food and liquid filled knickknacks, and they think this makes them look effective and the rules they are enforcing sensible? It is baffling.

[Night Watchman]

Seriously. Who took this picture and thought, "we need to show this off?" It feels like a poster for "stop wasting your time with us."

[Jerry B.]

Peanut butter is liquid? Who knew?

[Mickey Rat]

If you want to get pedantic about it, glass is an amorphous solid. That is, is it feels solid at ambient temperatures, but has the structure of a liquid and does flow, albeit very slowly, so it is considered an in between state between liquid and solid.

[sarcasmic]

I'm pretty sure that's a myth based upon old windows being made imperfectly and then later blaming those imperfections on the glass slowly flowing.

[Rossami]

Sorry, no, that's not a myth. At the chemical level, glass really is just a very (very, very) viscous liquid.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

Ken yee nae read? He said nothing about the glass windows myth of melting and being thicker at the bottom.

[Griffin3]

I once saw McGyver construct a cat engine with less than half the stuff on that table.

[Brian]

Those anuses aren’t going to lube themselves.

[Jefferson's Ghost]

I was wondering what happened to the hanguns, large hunting knives, and explosives that should be in this photo, then it occurred to me that the TSA employees probably took them home as souvenirs.

[Á àß äẞç ãþÇđ âÞ¢Đæ ǎB€Ðëf ảhf]

They'd have to see the guns slide by on the scanner first.

[Dillinger]

showing bottles of water and soda is like showing the change the cops found behind the cushions at a drug bust

[Use the Schwartz]

At least you get a little gender-neutral tug before you get through the gate.

[Brandybuck]

I bet they were so proud of themselves too.

[Liberty_Belle]

Who is bringing their own booze on flights ? (Besides the pilots ?)

[markm23]

Anyone who wants to drink on a flight without paying the airline several times what the tiny bottle is worth. Also, anyone who is particular about their booze and wants something not usually in the service cart.

[ElvisIsReal]

I wrote about this back when it happened, and even linked a bonus pic of the "epic" drug bust from Taneha (?)

https://simulationcommander.substack.com/p/government-is-a-relentless-freedom

Look how proud they are of confiscating all those super dangerous items! (Then storing them all together for a photo op - cause that’s how you handle dangerous stuff) They set up this photo shoot like it was a big drug bust or something! With efficiency like this, you’d almost forget that TSA fails actual airport security tests — miserably.

With so many government agencies always looking to expand their powers, it’s dizzying to try to take it all in. I want to write an article about ridiculous example X, but the next day it’s overshadowed by ridiculous example Y. And while we may be able to rally the populace once or twice, it only takes one slip to create that temporary government program that will certainly turn into a permanent fixture.

[ElvisIsReal]

[American Mongrel]

Lol. That's like 75 dollars on the table. What a joke.

[Idaho Bob]

Gotta love the ziplock baggie boxes and the empty script bottle.

[Ragnarredbeard]

Horribly irresponsible of the TSA to stack so much hazardous material like that. They could have blown up the entire terminal!

[creech]

why didn't you show the photo of all the terrorists the TSA arrested who were carrying this stuff?

[B G]

Without these heroes, as many as five flights full of people would have been subjected to the danger of being on the same airplane as a snow globe. That makes it all worthwhile.

[markm23]

AFAIK, the TSA has _never_ sought a bomb-proof bin for the stuff they confiscate; instead, they toss them in an ordinary trash bin. This means that from the very beginning, they never thought any of the confiscated liquids might actually be an explosive. And dragging the stuff out of the bin and arranging it for display further proves their belief in their harmlessness.

On the plus side, when someone finally becomes annoyed enough to seek to assassinate random TSA agents, there's an obvious way to plant the bombs.

I just worked part-time from my apartment for 5 weeks, but I made $30,030. I lost my former business and was soon worn out. Thank goodness, [res-08] I found this employment online and I was able to start working from home right away. This top career is achievable by everyone, and it will improve their online revenue by:.
