Well, we already know that solid explosives can be brought through the checkpoint at will. Strapped around the waist, or wherever. The liquid carnival is egregious because it ignores the larger threat for the theater of the lesser one.

The TSA does this to make a show of discovering liquids in bottles, all the while failing to deter actual threats.
