There are so many stories of gross stupidity and malevolence by TSA agents. I find it incredible that polls show that 90% of Americans are sheep and want to continue to be shorn by these bullies as part of a ridiculous security theatre...
If I believed in God I would see this as God's justice wreaked upon a country that has revived torture as state policy. This might bring some satisfaction to the victims of Abu Ghraib, all those secret CIA jails, those who suffered "rendition" to other countries to carry out torture on the US's behalf (Maher Arar is one of many names), and for those who were tortured again and again in the (supposedly shut down by Obama) Guantanamo torture centre... this is some cruel justice God has mete out upon Americans to balance the scales. The only problem with the "God's justice" theory is that it is innocent Americans who are made to suffer while the bureaucracy that brought you torture continue unpunished. I guess that's why I don't believe is a God. His sense of humour escapes me.
Update 2010nov30: Here is the TSA website that explicitly says you are allowed to bypass screening if you present breast milk to the TSA agents. Obviously TSA doesn't bother to "train" its bullies to know their own rules or to behave in a reasonable manner.
