Let’s put aside security theater for a moment

One good thing these rules seem to have addressed is people should pack less things including liquids in their carryons. The side effect though is you get things like you can’t bring things like large liquids that maybe you got on a trip back.

If that were a real concern and not a cope for having to submit to pointless security theater, airlines could just charge by weight. The weight of my contact lens solution is negligible
