This is just whining.  See tsa.gov.  The policy is clear: containers
more than 3 fluid ounces are not allowed.  A larger container is not
allowed unless it is for one of the allowed substances, and is
declared (there is a form).  If you don't like the policy please try
to change it but complaining to the local TSOs that they are enforcing
the policy wastes everyone's time.  On the other hand, if a local TSA
station uses their discretion to go beyond TSA standard procedure, you
have every right to question that decision, and probably should.  For
example some stations log people's names and flight numbers after hand
inspection(!).  By the way see the flyertalk "safety and security"
forum <http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=222> for a
vast amount of discussion on these topics.
