Mixing Explosive Liquids in a CrowdPosted on Aug 11, 2006
Like, we don’t know, but ... it may be a bad idea to combine potentially explosive liquids in trash bins near big crowds. (h/t: Boing Boing) Also, John at AMERICAblog wants to know: If liquid explosives were suspected back in a 1995 plane bombing plot, why have liquids been allowed on planes since then, and now suddenly they’re not?

We’re supposed to put up with ever more intrusive government attempts to make sure no one can do us harm by any means conceivable but God forbid that we try to make ourselves safer by altering to the slightest degree our foreign policy of violently fanatical support of Israeli fascism.
No, no, we can’t touch that—instead, we’ll all have to fly on planes absolutely naked, bound with rope, gagged, and perhaps drugged into an unconcious state to make sure we’re completely harmless.
Only a terrorist would object to these sensible precautions!

“... why have liquids been allowed on planes since then, and now suddenly theyre not?”
Stupidity. Or, perhaps idiocy.
If suddenly common carry-on objects become banned and have to be ditched at the airport, that means that Homeland Security is not doing their job. Or worse, that they are a front and all their jobs is, is to respond with “feel good” measures based upon media reports.
I naturally assumed that Homeland Security had a “only these items can be carried on” list which they provide to everyone getting their tickets or booking flights. I mean, that’s the logical thing to do, right?
