A recent foiled terrorist attack has now led airport security to forbid passengers from bringing any liquids or gels onto a plane. Apparently, the attack involved mixing or using liquid explosives–so no juice for you! One exception to this rule is baby bottles–people can bring this onto a plane provided they sample the liquid first.
So let me get this straight–if a terrorist were to board a plane with every intention of mixing an explosive device and blowing away the entire jet, do we really think they would hesitate to sample the mixture for our security staff. “I know I’m going to explode into a billion bits of red, but I won’t drink this explosive mixture–it could kill me!”
Man, remember the good old days when the only security risk to public transportation was Dennis Hopper putting a bomb on a bus?
