An update on Boston TSA common sense - still none

Thanks to Upgrade: Travel Better for the heads-up to this story on Smarter Travel. I posted a month ago about my experience with Boston (BOS) TSA and the liquids rule. It seems they are still up to tricks, with Smarter Travel's report of being made to buy a quart sized bag (clear and ziplocked of course) at the nearby newsstand due to having a much larger one. Fair enough you might think? Except the contents were 2 3-oz items - clearly much less than you could fit in a quart-sized bag.

So where has the common sense gone?
