We can't let you bring this bottle of "water" on the plane because it me an explosive...so I'm just gonna to throw it into this garbage can full of all the other potential explosives in the most densely packed area of the airport...
A tiny container of "explosive" liquid like that would barely do any damage in the trashcan. Worst case it would injure a few people.
The same explosion at 30,000 in the plane would be catastrophic.
I get TSA is a lot of bullshit, but there is no really good solution for this except some hyper rapid liquid tester.
Which just isn't worth it dump it out and refill it past the gate.
