If the information that debunks the propaganda wasn't readily available, sure you could call them victims. But in this case it's just willful ignorance, and that's on yourself, so at best a victim of yourself. But they are not blameless victims, and completely responsible for their own misery here.

    Sounds more like the restaurants in your area are dog shit. I'm not a bad cook or a good cook. The few recipes I make are usually good. But it sure as hell isn't better than 90% of the restaurants out there.. More like maybe 10-15%.

    I just don't subscribe to the defeatism of a job is a job, and no matter how terrible of a practice it is or how badly they do it, it's justified because I was told to.

    If you can't accept people giving you shit for doing a bad job, don't do the job. Or accept it that you won't be liked for it. There are also plenty of good TSA agents, that would just have waved you through, because you know, you did what was required.

    I looked it up, and no in their rules toothpaste is not a liquid. But pastes, gels, creams and aerosols aren't allowed either. So yes the toothpaste argument wouldn't hold.

    But the resealable bag argument still stands. They also only need to fit in it, not have to be in it (the bag is only to facilitate screening, not a requirement). So if it was just toothpaste the whole bag wasn't necessary to begin with.

    A minimum wage worker who loves to power trip? They made an issue of the bag not being resealable while it's in fact resealable. They don't write the law but they love to (wrongly) up keep it.

    You could have gone one further and discuss whether toothpaste is actually a liquid or not. It's a paste, or more specifically a Bingham plastic.

    But that probably would go way above their mental capabilities if they already don't understand what resealable means.
