Personally, I think u may be reading too much into her motives, Hailey. However, after my many travel experiences I'd say there's NOTHING too stupid or nonsensical for a TSA agent to do!

As Kate says, they really having NOTHING TO DO WITH SECURITY! They're there so the muggles feel safe flying. Apparently throwing away your water bottles and taking off your shoes impresses some folks.

It'll be hell to pay when someone tries liting his explosive undies on a flite!
