Nonsense. The TSA is crucial to the busts. I know that because it put a press release about the incident on its website. GUWonder, why don't you love Amerika?

I found this rather interesting:
As a token of the intense surveillance by German police, prosecutors said that during the investigation they were able to replace the dangerous peroxide in the containers with a harmless solution without the knowledge of the suspects.

To the picture on TSA website: Did they pay the fees for it?
To the exchange of content iin those containers: Wise move. I think the risk of a deliberate ignition might have been there.
I think its interesting to see how long they watched these people doing what they did before intervening.

I think they'd need some more product for those locations, to be honest.

I would say that the above is not always the case -- often enough for others to be left wondering what is the exception and what is the norm in these kind of matters.

While the folks across the pond managed to impose the liquid-nonsense on EUians too (thanks for that, btw......
), I have yet to see barkers and bad attitudes from the customer service folks manning the WTMD/xray in any EU port that I've been going through, whereas it seems systematic "across the pond".
