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.

"REAL" security would involve more than you think. NO bottles lest they contain flammable liquids. NO aerosol cans lest they contain something other than what is on the label. NO flame producing articles of ANY kind such as matches, lighters, etc.
Thats just for starters, but "real" security is unobtainable in the US due to our way of life. The USA has and always will be open to terrorist attacks because of the freedoms we enjoy. That is both our strength and our weakness. We cannot prevent all of the attacks, but we are strong enough to survive them. Bickering about it is also one of our strengths.
