We can’t let you bring this bottle of “water” on the plane because it me an explosive…so I’m just gonna to throw it into this garbage can full of all the other potential explosives in the most densely packed area of the airport…
A tiny container of “explosive” liquid like that would barely do any damage in the trashcan. Worst case it would injure a few people.
The same explosion at 30,000 in the plane would be catastrophic.
I get TSA is a lot of bullshit, but there is no really good solution for this except some hyper rapid liquid tester.
Which just isn’t worth it dump it out and refill it past the gate.
I mean I can understand them, because the luquid can be literally anything, including acid
takes notes so I can bring a quart bag with 3.4 ounce bottles of acid onto a plane.
Yes you can as long as it’s 3.4 ounces and it doesn’t look to sus your good
It depends on the plastic and the acid involved.
Most plastics are unreactive with most acids. Sometimes, like with Hydrofluoric acid, it must be stored in plastic, because it can dissolve glass.
TSA is security theater that fails over 90% of real-world tests. It just wastes a ton of time, jet fuel, and people’s energy who could be doing jobs that actually help others or even just hanging out because that would literally be a more productive use of their time.
Apparently new x-ray systems are now able to differentiate the density of water from other more dangerous chemicals, which has made so some airport customs do in fact allow water bottles through.

The funny thing is as long as you have a small kid with you - doesn’t even have to be a baby, just stroller-age - you can bring anything. I’m not even talking about a sealed bottle of water - which, to me, would kind of make sense with the regulations - but all of the sudden your normal 500ml bottle with water, juice, or whatever, is fine. A thermo can with boiling hot water inside? Sure, no problem.
