I use to work at an airport and went through security all the time. We had an employee line but it was the same deal. I would bring in bread and pb & J to save on lunches. I was once (not most the time I did it, only once) had TSA claim the peanut butter was a liquid and I couldn't bring it in. I was like open it up and turn it upside down, it doesn't come out.
Another time a pilot was ahead of me and had a small screwdriver set for his glasses or something. They tried to take it from him saying he could hurt someone. The pilot then screamed " I'm a pilot, if I wanted to hurt someone I'd take the plane down". It didn't get him his screwdrivers through. Sometimes they just want to be right about something, I've never seen anyone argue and win with TSA.
