Stupid morons calling the shots for AA in DUB/SNN: No Liquids At All.
Stupidity has affected AA for their DUB/SNN flight to the US.
Read it here .
From the thread in the AA forum:
"I have had ongoing discussions with AA Management in Europe on this issue. In short, their security liaison has mandated AA ban liquids. It is unique to AA, they are aware it is very inconvenient to passengers, and are trying to lobby the Irish powers that be to lift this ridiculous restriction."
Join me in boycotting AA to/from DUB/SNN and all other routes that you see fit to shun until AA stops acting like stupid, frightened imbeciles.
Contact AA and let them know you'll not tolerate their stupidity.
Liquids are NOT a credible threat to aircraft.

Obviously this is a crapshoot, but I had a standard TSA baggie of typical liquids, and it was missed completely at security at SNN. Didn't make any effort to hide it, either. Even put it through the X-ray machine seprarely. She just didn't open that compartment during the hand check.
I also noticed that most (not all) of the vending machines had signs on them stating that any soda purchased from them could not be brought on to a US bound flight. It seemed like they were enforcing that a lot more readily, but the small bottle of soda I had was also much more obvious (in the main compartment of a backpack, as opposed to a side pocket of a roller bag).

Flew AA *alot* in 2004. Found them to be incompetent paranoid ninnys and will not fly them anymore.
And while United lost the same amount of aircraft and crew on 11 September 2001, they are very reasonable and prudent about onboard security.

It appears, on the surface, to be parAAnoiAA. You'd think that if there were "chatter" about using Ireland as a back-door plot-staging point instead of the U.K., the TSA would be all over this demanding implementation for all ex-Ireland flights to the States?
