Can anyone confirm the enforcement and detail what they went through?

If so, the terrorists have finally done nearly the equivalent of hiding the bomb in their underwear; banning all liquides is the most impractical, stupidest thing tSA has done to date. Good old water (H20) is now a prohibited item, even though pax are made up of about 75% water .

Perhaps this can be used as an impetus to stop the madness.

I think you'll just have to get use to it along with no carry-ons. All luggage will be checked from now on and no McDonalds carry-ons either. only cardboard sandwiches on board.

See you in line for the luggage, maybe there is a new business entertaining flyers at the carosel.
