You DO deserve a medal! Oh my LORD!

Your post made me grind my teeth and laugh out loud, both ... aren't those security people JERKS!? They just stand there, with nothing to do but watch you, but THEY do not help you with one damned thing! I remember one time doing the stroller/kid/etc. juggle, and I snarled at one guy as I left, "Thanks for the help." Why aren't they trained to help out?

And the toothpaste thing? HA. Been there. The tube is nearly empty -- doesn't matter. Sheesh. Also? What moron came up with this X ounces policy? Someone could just divide the explosives among various containers, and recombine it once on board! Double sheesh.
