Just got my toothpaste stolen because it was too big. It's a regular sized tube. I'd like to know how stealing my toothpaste keeps America safe.

No one likes the TSA because they slow you down. We all like being safe when we fly though. It's s compromise.

"You canne be carrying that 1.5 liter bottle of water onto the plane. That could kill people. Just dump it in the bin in the most crowded area of the airport."
But three tubes that equal a regular is fine...Because they're shit scared of someone putting plastic explosive into a full tube of toothpaste and bringing it on the plane.
Have you thought this thru ? You take 3 tubes of explosives try and combine them someone will notice you're now mixing things . Lot more work even if no one notices these are measures to ensure safety .
Which is exactly what somebody attemped to do on a UK flight in the early 2000's.It's not about a bottle of water being a bomb. A bottle of "water" filled with nitric acid on its own will do nothing if you throw it into a trash can. A bottle of nitric acid bought onto a plane then mixed with hexamine crystals smuggled onto the plane can make RDX.
They're not trying to stop bombs. They're trying to make it difficult to bring precursors and larger amounts of explosives on board. It's basically harm minimization on a giant pain in the ass scale.

The limited number of 3 oz you can bring and the fact that scanners can pick them up.It's all about false security.
It makes no sense, as long as you have 3oz or less of something in the same container it's okay, but 3.1oz it's now contraband.
What's stopping someone from bringing something dangerous on the plane in multiple 3oz containers? As long as they fit in the clear quart bag, you can bring as much of anything you want as long as it's in a 3oz or smaller container.
Nobody likes tsa, however your reasons for not liking them is entireentirely due to your ignorance.

You hope someone notices a group of 5 people setting up a meth lab in economy.Well, if you are truly limited, what is stopping say a group of 5 people to all bring the maximum they are allowed, and then combine everything later?

The more people involved the more chance of picking up an operation by intelligence before it starts. It's a continual balancing act.
I know at my local airport EWR (Newark) they routinely fail random checks for knives/guns/contraband.
I'm not sure what you're arguing here. Organizing a group of 5 people to mix together a bomb onboard a plane is more complicated than a single person doing something with as little prep as possible because of relaxed rules.If you do the prep of moving the liquid from smaller to a larger container say in the bathroom at the terminal.
Then on the plane they do the other part?
Only if you don't know it is only security theatre.No one likes the TSA because they slow you down. We all like being safe when we fly though. It's s compromise.
On one trip to Japan, I was constantly hassled on every leg of the trip. Pulled aside for bomb tests, had to go through separate screenings, had my checked luggage rifled through. No idea why.
The checked luggage thing was the worst. Everything was in disarray and the zipper was hulked open and broken. I'm lucky that nothing fell out. They left a nice note telling me they were not responsible for damage to luggage during checks.

It's just about making it as difficult as possible. No one is saying all flights are now immune to all threats because of current rules.
To do what inside a terminal, some type of act of terror?Who said anything about onboard a plane? I'm not sure why there haven't been more attempts of something to be done inside a terminal.
