A few weeks ago, I went through airport security. I had a 4oz tube of toothpaste. I knew the limit was 3oz, but my drugstore didn't have anything smaller than 4oz. The TSA guy saw it and took it out of my ziplock bag. "I'll have to confiscate this, it's larger than 3oz." I say, "Can't you just squirt 1oz into the garbage can right there?" He gave me a nasty look. Completely pointless event, if you ask me.
