The Terrorists Have Won

Flying out from DC's Reagan National Airport, Jack's milk bottles were placed into a strange device by the security experts of the TSA. The device told the security experts that the milk needed additional testing, so the security experts asked me to open each bottle so they could use some sort of litmus paper to perform a secondary test. Thankfully, the explosive dairy product test came out negative.

On the way home, we encountered a similar team of security experts, operating a device similar to the device at Reagan that placed Jack's bottles into secondary screening. Again, the security experts protected us from certain death by taking twice as long to perform the same tests that had been performed on the way out, asking, upon further review of our all plastic milk bottles, 'Is there metal in that milk?'.

The attached picture is a little blurry, but you might be able to identify a security expert using a third device to scan Jack's milk, while Patty is receiving a very thorough pat down in the background. That pat down seemed somewhat akin to turning my head and coughing for high school sports physicals.
