Too dangerous to allow a liter of liquid on a plane.
Let’s mix them all together in an airport where nothing bad can happen.
what if terrorists brought actual bomb juice and poured in in there and then just flicked a match into there and the whole fuckin airport blew up? things to think about when youre on your way to the airport.
Every time I'm at an airport I'm just struck at how much it's changed since I was young.
In the olden days, it was like a big, clean bus station, people were free and happy and kids were running around, no barriers or guardrails anywhere. Now it feels like a funeral procession getting on a plane with the amount of searching and scanning and poking and prodding and massive walls of rules being posted about what you can't do or say and one-way labyrinths of security hell.
And you could even smoke on the plane
Okay, some things have improved.
yep pretty much it.
Or something which acts like a catalyst to make all kinds of soda explosives! (I'm not a chemist, so please don't judge me for this ridiculous statement)
oh woops i just dropped my family size roll of MENTOS in the jungle juice
The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.
It's not "too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane". It's "we can't detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it".
That doesn't make sense. If that was the only reason, it would be easier and safer to just get people to take their liquid, in its container, out of the bag at scanning time
Agree, but security theater is more important, clearly.
Why can't the liquid be allowed on the plane after the rest of your luggage is scanned then?
I thought that somebody could sneak a explosive liquid into a plane via cup or bottle, and that the liquid could look so much like coffee or water or fuckin diet Pepsi that the security people were like "nah bro we aren't gonna test it".
