I kind of lose sympathy in this case since it was an airport and she was carrying a substance easily mistaken for explosives.
Hell, I was getting stopped pre-9/11 for carrying Silly Putty.

I was questioned in airport security when I brought silly putty in my hand luggage back from London to Dublin.
The conversation went something along the lines of ..
Security: “Uhm, whats this?”
Me: “That’s silly putty. It’s this fun, cool, clay like substance with all sorts of cool . Have been looking for it for a long time. Finally found it at Hamley’s”
Security: Uhm.. yeah, but it looks a bit suspicious.
Me: “Well, it’s in it’s original packaging, and feel free to test it”
Security: “Sure.. hmm.. yeah, well, actually, I bought some of this stuff to my kids too..”
Me: big smile
They still confiscated my deodorant. Got to keep my silly putty.
