I thought that I have heard it all. Who has a perfect past? Not me, thats for sure. Not that it will make you feel any better, but I got screwed and I was flying in state! Going from Connecticut to Michigan to do a job, and had two cases of water base paint. Not only could not get on the plane but with the observation of many super qualified flight security personel, I had to open each container of paint (that was sealed with tape and in its own zip lock bag) to prove thats what it was. I still dont know how opening a bottle proves it is anything but that was what they wanted and after 2 hours, I got the next flight and another disaster was avoided.
I know that this does not really parallel your situation but I thought that it might make it a bit easier to know that everyone is dealing with the aftermath of recent events.
