Having read the article, it raises some interesting points - one of which seems to refute our own government's assertions that TATP is a liquid explosive only found in the shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes of dangerous passengers.

Since it can be carried in crystalline form, it can be smuggled virtually undetectable. So remind me why we're confiscating shampoo and hair gel?

If explosives can be made from such common sources, it sounds to me like the general public needs to start accepting that there is some risk involved with life in a free country, stiffen up and deal with it. There is no way to plug all the holes in this block of swiss cheese, only mitigate risk.
