One thing that still gets me is that they say a liquid explosive could not be used. This method was used years ago. i can't remember the county, but a liquid explosive made using a contact lens solution bottle was detonated on an aircraft killing one person. it was placed under a seat. ill try to find the incident.
Don't put yourself out. We all know about it.

The liquid in question was nitroglycerin.

No one here denies that explosives, liquid or solid, exist.

The premise of the liquid ban is that two innocuous, undetectable by ETD, liquids can be brought aboard an aircraft and combined on-board to make a credible explosive. That threat does not exist except in the imagination of the TSA.
