Now, short of a ban, and not allowing them through (which means many people will indeed have to discard their items) how would you suggest we keep them out of cabin baggage?
Do you think asking people nicely (with no repercussions if they fail to comply) would be sufficient?
If so, I have this bridge ... etc.
Thats so full of BS its not even funny. Please prove that comment as a friend i went to high school with and then on to MIT holds PhD's in Chemistry and Physics that say the binary bomb threat isnt possible outside of tightly controlled lab conditions. He joked that a fart had more power then a binary bomb, but there not banned;dangerous but not banned.
Then answer this if the liquids are so dangerous why arent they being treated as hazmat and disposed as such, as following TSA logic merely throwing them out doest redce the risk.
My favorite idiotic comment from one of your collegues was that a stupid song he YELLED about how dangerous water was and why its banned over 3 oz, when someone in the line told the singer "then if water is so dangerous then why is this yelling bag of water even in the building (referencing that the human body is over 80% water)" for which the singer couldnt be heard because the security line was laughing at him.
Also i wondering before becoming a TSO what did you do. Just wondering
