Losing sight of the purpose

Shortly after the gels and things rules were established, I tried to go through security with my makeup in a little see-through pouch. They were going to confiscate the stuff because I didn't have it in the correct container.

"I thought the purpose was so that they could see what was there," I asked.

"No. It has to be in a ZipLock bag." I was told.

I found one and transferred the stuff, and was allowed to go through.

I ask you. What difference does it make what KIND of see-through container makes, as long as you can SEE THROUGH.
