    Look… We don’t allow liquids cause they may be explosive, so put your possible explosive with all these other potential explosives in the busiest and most congested and concentrated area of this airport…i think I may of found a flaw in this plan

      If there ever was proof the TSA is a clown show security theater it’s in this bin. Too bad it’s never going away because the average citizen simply doesn’t care and no administration wants to be responsible for making a bunch of poorly educated government employees lose their jobs.

        Well I wouldn’t say no administration is above the responsibility of making a bunch of government employees lose their jobs.

      Presumably the liquid explosives aren’t going to explode when diluted with loads of water and energy drink

      But if that’s before the checks then you’d get that far just having a bomb under your jacket anyway. The liquid thing is to prevent you from blowing up planes and shit that comes after the check

      I feel like their job is to stop people from blowing up terminals and planes. They literally can’t stop terrorism on the public side of the gate. They have no means.

      The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

      It’s not “we don’t allow liquids cause they may be explosive”. It’s “we don’t allow liquids cause if you have any in your luggage, we won’t be able to correctly detect explosives you might also have”.

      That’s why some airports now allow liquids. Newer scanners can detect explosives even in luggages that also contain liquids.

      Nobody thinks your bottle of water is dangerous. But your bottle of water will prevent the explosives detector from working.
