It is difficult to agree with such a nebulous postulation. The evidence we can see suggests that the rules are arbitrary and excessively-enforced. We would need to see specific evidence as to why it is not allowed to transport 1x 1 litre bottle but it is allowed to transport 10x 100ml bottles, and why you can avoid body scanners in some places and not others, and so forth, in order to agree with the system as it is in place.
I recall, after a small amount of pointless discussion, having to surrender some dribbles of shampoo and conditioner because the bottle sizes were over 100ml on one occasion. Security did not notice the 250ml deodorant I had left in the bag. Which do you think was more dangerous? It all looks to be nonsense.
