TSA Approved is total BS! Do NOT buy anything thinking TSA Approved means anything at all. I bought a pair of TSA Approved Timberland Shoes (still have the box, TSA Approved stamp, etc.) so I wouldn't have to do the shoe bit in the Airport. Guess what? Does NOT mean anything! I even took the stamp through, brochure, etc once and they said it doesn't matter. Its all a load of rubbish. TSA sells this stamp to vendors, then still makes end user jump through hoops! Win-Win for TSA, until someone sues the vendor who then has to sue TSA.

Sounds like a class-action suit to me. I've heard much worse reasons for a law suit.
