If you have 1 bad officer but 999 who go along with it, you have 1000 bad officers.

And remember, this is just one case.

"Instead of making headlines with reform, though, the TSA has become better-known for stealing money from travelers. In September, news reports called out the case of TSA working with other agencies to seize $27,600 from a Texas man, apparently because he was traveling to Oregon where marijuana is legal in conflict with federal law; he was never charged with a crime. Last year, the Institute for Justice reported that TSA and its sister agencies at Homeland Security "seized over $2 billion in currency at airports" between 2000 and 2016."

I don't get why every comment here is answering a different question than the one being asked. The question is "is it common for TSA agents to covertly steal from carry-on luggage", not "is the TSA bad" or "do TSA follow due process" or "is it risky to carry cash in checked luggage when traveling" or "is law enforcement stealing from people" or what have you.

Due to the way surface tension works, many fewer than 1 in 1000 water molecules are wet.

There’s a kids science experiment where you coat your hand in the right powder, dip it in water, and it comes out dry. I can’t find a link to it though.

Errr, what's the definition of "wet" that you are using?

Isn't the common definition of "wet" that it has water on it?

So, by that definition... 100% of water molecules would be "wet".

The standard definition of wetting doesn't mention water. (For one thing, other liquids can make stuff wet.)

The first few paragraphs on wikipedia are a pretty good summary, and the article also includes a picture of a water bead failing to wet a surface:

From that:

    Wetting is the ability of a liquid to maintain contact with a solid surface ...

There's no solid surface for our purposes here, so that doesn't really seem to apply all that well?
