TSA bans Snow Globes

From the "Are you shitting me?" Department:

"Snow globes are not permitted to be carried through security checkpoints," said Transportation Security Administration spokesman Dwayne Baird.

The reason is that the globes contain liquids, and TSA rules say that only liquids, gels or aerosols in containers of three ounces or less are allowed through security in carry-on bags...

"I would think they would just say 'no,' because they can't really determine how many ounces are in there," Baird said.

Snow globes? TSA will likely just say 'no'

Paranoia run amok, combined with idiocy and bureaucracy ... this is what you get.
