Come on people- fluid explosives are nothing new. If this is such a grave concern, why are we only now taking steps to prevent it?
I was searched by hand 2 times before boarding my transatlantic flight on Friday am. I still found a tube of chapstick and a tube of toothpaste in my backpack when I was unpacking. AND I was dehydrated, because I couldn't bring my water bottle with me on the plane...
oh well.
At least I wasn't one of those who was waiting 24 + hours trying to get on a plane, having only been given a cot, a blankie, a pillow, a meal voucher, and having NO carry-ons with them whatsoever. I bet they felt really secure and safe.
Sorry so cynical.
