You are all correct. There are numerous ways to get flammable liquids through the checkpoint. However, unless draconian measures are taken, that will never change. You can ridicule all you want, but you do not want "real" security either and you know it. If it ever came to that, then there would be so much wailing and gnashing of teeth. You cannot have it both ways people....

You got me all wrong - I'm in favor of "real" security and not the Keystone Kops variety foisted upon us by Daschle, the Democrats, GWB, Ashcroft, Ridge, Mineta, Magaw and Loy.

"Real" security wouldn't involve stupid rules like the one we're discussing here. It would look for obvious weapons (pistols, rifles, swords, really big knives, bombs, etc. It would not get bogged down in trivial matters like what kind of drink container I may carry thru a WMD.

Stupid F'ing Americans.
