Well said, Baluqtaq.  I would further add that the TSA ban on carrying so-called "liquids" (such as honey, jams or peanut butter) aboard aircraft has utterly NO basis in logic, as most potential oxidizers and explosives are solids or powders, NOT liquids.  If the TSA were going to follow 'logic' in this matter, they would ban all SOLIDS from being carried aboard airplanes.  Note as well that, to the best of my knowledge, this idiotic "no liquids" ban is not observed by any other nation's airlines or security screening agency.

I am convinced that the role of the TSA is not primarily security, it is about inoculating Americans into having their privacy and liberty stripped by an all-powerful police state.
