I can add another one to the list: This Christmas, my mom gave me a plastic water bottle that has an insert attached to the lid that you can freeze to keep your beverage cold. The inside of this insert apparently contains gel that raised a red flag when going through the x-ray machine. They were about to throw it away (admittedly, not a big loss compared to other things that could be confiscated) when one of the TSA agents suggested just removing the insert from the lid. It worked, and I get to keep my bottle, albeit with room temperature water.

The ironic thing is that my sister went through security right before me with her own water bottle in her backpack, and they didn't stop her.

Also, I always forget to go through my purse and take out my lip gloss, hand lotion, etc. And they never catch it (or say anything).
