Chris M. noticed something bizarre on the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) website.
If you scroll about 1/4th of the way down this page, there is a list of pdfs and videos about security on airplanes. There are separate videos for the female and the male “business traveler.” They both show liquids in a plastic bag, but apparently only men carry laptops and women are relieved from having to take off their shoes.
Chris thought it was especially interesting to see this on a .gov site. Nice find Chris!

subconsious sexism by the government?
I think it's also interesting to see that women must have less than that certain amount of liquit (3 oz?), while the men only need to have it fit comfortably in a small bag.
Are all business women really only working for make-up factories?
