I agree with everything you said about this being a dog & pony show.

We're also in a situation where people who are not making a whole lot of money have been put in a position of having a certain amount of power over others that they use arbitrarily. You know how they are about liquids? I heard a story from a friend about one of her diabetic patients going through security with her insulin kit (legal to do) and the TSA dweeb demanding that she give herself a shot of it to prove it was insulin (apparently he wouldn't believe it was medicine until she went into shock). Fortunately a supervisor with half a brain was nearby, stopped it and let the passenger through.
