It doesn't matter what you believe. The people in charge of setting the rules believed there was a threat.
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."
So, if DHS ruled that toothbrushes could only be in checked luggage that's the end of discussion, no means available to challenge the rule?
