DFW TSA is reported (got a PM from a friend) to be confiscating legal size but generic containers of liquids and gels today. If you have a hotel or brand bottle of shampoo under 3 oz, it seems to be allowed; your own in an REI plastic bottle, for example, into the trash it goes.
This is, among other things, slowing down security procedures.
Looks like Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab's name will go into the history books with Richard Reid's - brainwashed but dim bulb whack job who got caught (and in this instance, apparently got severe third degree burns for a homebrew incendiary mix that merely caused him grief and a passenger pile-on.) But I do predict his effects on the average air passenger have the potential to be lasting, like Richard Reid's, as well. (Why couldn't someone substitute their Neutrogena or La Source shampoo with another, more noxious substance?)
Some sources report Abdul was on a watch list - whoops, looks like maybe that was the first screwup, as well as AMS security not managing to find the packet of powder taped to Abdul's leg, nor the liquid he added to it, nor the syringe he may have used to add it. (But, human behavioral screening a la El Al is considered to be too expensive; maybe they will just have us all fly naked in flex cuffs - that will give an entirely new flavor to security and gate screening, and is somewhat more restrictive, but it may be faster and hey, it's for security, right?
