Wow I am surprised no one picked up on this one yet. According to published news reports, at least one of the suspects in this plot was a woman with a 6 month old child. Based on this information, why on earth are they allowing formula or breast milk and banning other liquids. It shows that they clearly are not thinking about the true risks associated with the ban, and in this case the evidence indicates that an exempted item may have been used to smuggle a portion of the material on board.

I am sorry to say this, but formula and breast milk in bottles should not be exempted, as long as we have this liquid ban.
