New TSA Security Test
I experienced a new TSA security check at Phoenix Airport last Thursday. The agent took my over-three-ounce bottle of saline, put a drop of it on a white cardboard strip, and then put a drop of another liquid on top of that. Nothing changed color, and she let me go.
Anyone know what the test is, and what it’s testing for?

Hydrogen peroxide. They seem to have escalated their attack on 3% concentration hydrogen peroxide; for the same reason they are banning Clear Care contact lens solution, even if the bottle size is 3.4 oz or smaller.
Here’s an exchange on the TSA blog in which Blogger Bob does not answer the question directly, and his answer is disturbingly arrogant and condescending:

Poster’s question: What issues does TSA have with “Clear Care” brand contact lens solution?
The TSO’s response: The answer is on the label of the product. Take a moment and read it.
