On the other hand, it could simply be security people being random as they sometimes are...

Kieth, I think the OP said they DID have a clear EMPTY bottle with leaves and sticks in it.....ie..NO LIQUID

it might be the container size
if you have an almost empty bottle of shampoo in your carryon...even if it only has a half ounce in it..they confiscate it, because the container was originally made to hold more than 4 ounces
