Potential explosive?

Toothpaste is toothpaste. Shampoo is shampoo. Water is water.

Version 1.0 of the War on Liquids was due to the fear of binary explosives being mixed in flight...that threat was undermined by the facts, so now

Version 2.0 of the War on Liquids is due to the fear of pre-mixed binary explosives being brought on board...that threat has also been undermined by the facts, so now

how about we invest in existing technology to scan all containers for the presence of restricted chemicals, stop the War on Liquids, and return some sanity to the checkpoint?

By the way, if you want to find some real potential explosives, you might want to start looking inside cargo...but of course, Kippie doesn't think any cargo is dangerous, right...Trusted Shippers
