TSA's mission is to safely, efficiently and respectfully harass nearly 2 million passengers each day at airports nationwide. We are insensitive to the concerns of passengers who were not satisfied with their screening experience and we invite those individuals to provide feedback to TSA through a variety of channels that we will ignore.
We work to balance those concerns with the very real threat that our adversaries will attempt to use nail clippers and shampoo to carry out attacks on planes. It is the traveler's responsibility to have proper government issued identification, a boarding pass and a frontal lobotomy; to cooperate with applicable screening procedures and instructions and to communicate their disability or health related needs.
Liquid medications should be labeled, and those in quantities larger than 3.4 ounces (100ml) each need to be separated from other carry-on items and declared to the security officer, using small words and hand gestures, as medically necessary. A declaration can be made verbally, in writing using crayon, or by a person's companion, caregiver, interpreter, or family member. Liquids in excess of 3.4 ounces will require additional screening.
