Apparently so.
I don't believe that there is one bit of evidence that demonstrates liquids present a threat
It doesn't matter what you believe. The people in charge of setting the rules believed there was a threat.
and if there is evidence then TSA should screen for the threat, not just declare all LGA's over 100ml verboten.
Agreed. The current situation is obviously a compromise, and is better than the original ruling that all LGAs should be banned from commercial flights.
Keep in mind, though, that the vast majority of people support the partial ban, along with nearly all the rest of the Security Theater measures.
I don't know what it would take to change the ruling, but it certainly isn't a class-action suit claiming "damages."
