Oh wait, there is no such thing as a binary liquid explosive that can be successfully used onboard a commercial aircraft.
Ummm. An airplane has been brought down with an explosive disguised as toothpaste before. And there is, per, you know, the experts, a credible threat. And, you know, the expert on CNN today gave a nice demonstration of an explosive that looks, tastes, and smells like toothpaste.

But, hey, the peanut gallery on FT knows best and God knows the inconvenience of not being able to bring toothpaste on board is pretty much the end of the world. I mean, the horror.
