Actually, you aren't as far off the mark as most of us would hope.

Last month, going through LAX, I had half a dozen carefully wrapped 10-oz 
bottles of Tapatio in my carry-on.

Made the guy on the X-ray machine sorta excited.

I had to unwrap a couple bottles, get thoroughly wanded, and listen to a lot 
of stupid discussion.  One of the 'guards' had a little trouble with the 
pepper spray/hot sauce distinction.  The other two explained to him, as 
nicely as possible, that he was an idiot.

A good time was had by all.

--d//didn't I see this scene in Midnight Express?
