If congress and their staff were forced to go through the same process as everyone else (and not through a VIP precheck line) they might realize what a clusterfuck it has become.

Last flight I had some water left in my bag which I realized just before going through the security scanner. So instead of letting it go to waste, I thought it'd be best to quickly drink it. But I was stopped by a TSA agent saying it's a security risk and I'd need to either leave or give him the bottle clear bottle of water.

He had nonchalantly took it, he had no doubt it was plain water and threw it in a trash container full of other bottles. Kind of ridiculous, if they really thought a clear liquid was a liquid bomb or something, why would they give me the option of leaving it with it? And how could it possible be a bigger security risk for me to ingest it, than give it to them to put in the open

While it's not like it ruined my day, it's certainly enough to convince me the whole thing is a joke.

Well, if TSA checks through diapers of babies just in case - you know - you as a parent might have put a bomb there, why not swallowing some sort of magical liquid that let you live for next 45 minutes, and explode/destroy aircraft once you get aboard and in the air?
