My only contention is that a condition of that service is their requirement that you not bring your hair gel on it.

In essence, no one is willing to offer you the service of travelling by airplane and bringing your hair gel along with you.

FALSE.

If that was the condition that the airline voluntarily chose, I would have no problem with it, and choose a different airline if all else were equal. (Incidentally, if they did voluntarily change their policy in between my flight and my return flight, they would without a doubt reimburse me for the items that they let me travel with but not bring back with me. The feds, however, are not so reasonable, because they have no incentive to be.)

People ARE willing to offer me this service. If you take away government, how many airlines do you think would reach the conclusion that stripping customers of their hair gel is really the most efficient way to protect their planes and their business? Hint: Rhymes with hero.
