There is nothing inherently dangerous about the liquid state of matter. The liquid madness makes no sense from a scientific standpoint. It is about control, theatrics, and the need to maintain jobs created for make-believe threats.
What's to stop someone using a travel-size Listerine bottle in a quart-size bag from boarding a 3.4 ounce bottle of peroxide?
