Further at 0300 many hotels dont have room service available. I am often awake in slip ports at this time and do get hungry
Wouldn't the FAAA would have something to say about that?
The world is full of pedantic buffooons.
Just trying to help. If you're planning to take on the bureaucracy, you should try to be accurate.
What is under discussion is tuna which is not a liquid. As mentioned the fluid contained inthe can is less than 8 mls.
I believe the requirement is for all liquids to be in containers with a volumetric capacity of less than 100ml. Your tuna was, by your own admission, in a container with a mass inside of 185g. This is held to be the "equivalent" of a volume of 185ml of pure water. How do the hapless jobsworths in security know it didn't hold 185ml of water and 0mg of tuna?

Kind of obvious how this will end...
