Their plot was closer to "viable" than it was theoretical. While not a fan of the liquid restrictions I have zero sympathy for those who would put lives at risk so they can enjoy their favorite seltzer. Boo-hoo.
Their plot wasn’t anywhere close to being a viable operation to bring down multiple TATL planes to unleash murder/mayhem on an unprecedented scale as claimed by the involved governments that pushed for the “war on water” in response to the arrests of the plotters.
Keep in mind that the “war on water” could have been started (in the manner it ended up being started) by governments at airports near and far before any of the plotters’ arrests, but it wasn’t. Now go ask why it wasn’t launched and sustained until after the UK arrests in 2006.
