Over 2,300 items that passengers are forced to throw out under the assumption they could be bombs are being given to the needy.
Toiletries discarded or confiscated at a busy TSA checkpoint in the nation's capital are being given to people in need, even though those same items are classified by the federal government as being potentially hazardous enough to take down an aircraft.Items that don't pass the TSA's '3-1-1' rule for liquids, including shampoo, body wash and sunscreen, are being collected by a team at Reagan National Airport as part of a pilot program, WRC reported.
TSA rules state that any liquid over 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters found in carry-on baggage must be thrown away, even if they are new and unopened. The agency asks passengers to pack these items in checked luggage.Data is not readily available for overall items discarded or confiscated at TSA checkpoints, other than firearms, which the agency has recovered 23 of so far this year.
