this is how the u.s. government fights the "war on terrah"-simple and absolutely brilliant . example: i depart lhr for sfo with a stop at iad. (remember, the u.k. is our friend and ally who started the baggie and one bag only carry-on carnival ). i buy my duty free liquids post security at lhr and i am allowed to bring them on the plane because they have been deemed safe if purchased post security but upon arrvial in the u.s these same liquids deemed safe by our friend and ally are now considered terror threats and i now have to put them in my checked luggage. where's the logic as i just flew 3,000 miles with these same liquids inside the cabin with me and now i can't fly another 3,000 miles? kip hawley is a bloody moron.
