You're being overly generous, spotting him the 10%.

$10.00 hires some pretty motivated people, huh? Amazing how the lines can be backed up so far while some (not all) TSA reps are joking around with each other instead of really paying attention to the task at hand. That's why there are regular breaches when the system is tested...

I have to bring my lunch with me through security everyday....

Yogurt in the original cup? No good. Empty it into a small tupperware? A-OKAY.

Small can of baked beans? No good. Empty it into a small tupperware? A-OKAY.

Small can of campbells soup? No good. Empty it into a small tupperware? A-OKAY.

And yes, that actually all happened. Simply astounding. TSA: Saving the world, one can of beans at a time.

LMAO!! So your small can of baked beans and Campbell’s soup might be "DANGERUS" when it has been factory ceiled but your Tupperware that you could put anything in (explosive baked beans) is just fine!! WOW! I think minimum wage is more suited for them instead of 10 and hr! It would save us tax payers a boat load of $$$ and help bring down the deficit!!

I remember someone on this forum saying they froze home made soup over 4 oz. in a tupperware container to get through security haha.

This isn't really suprising, and I'm a part 91 pilot that just rides in the back of the airliners often enough.
