Blame the terrorists, not the airport screeners

Take terrorist Ramzi Yousef. Not content with simply bombing the Twin Towers in 1993, he moved on to airplanes. In 1994, plans to hide liquid explosives in contact lens solution bottles were discovered on his laptop. Yousef’s goal? To destroy 11 jumbo jets simultaneously in midair.

When I was with the Transportation Security Administration, I saw a mock-up of this evil-genius bomb. Trust me, you would gladly surrender your liquids at the checkpoint if you saw it. And you would want everyone else to do so as well.
