Look… We don’t allow liquids cause they may be explosive, so put your possible explosive with all these other potential explosives in the busiest and most congested and concentrated area of this airport…i think I may of found a flaw in this plan
The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.
It’s not “we don’t allow liquids cause they may be explosive”.
It’s “we don’t allow liquids cause if you have any in your luggage, we won’t be able to correctly detect explosives you might also have”.
That’s why some airports now allow liquids. Newer scanners can detect explosives even in luggages that also contain liquids.
Nobody thinks your bottle of water is dangerous. But your bottle of water will prevent the explosives detector from working.
I was looking at the rules recently and it said to put all your liquids in 1 zip lock bag. Presumably this would be so the bag could be removed and checked separately? If not what is the point? And why limit the amounts of particular fluids? None of this makes sense with the explosive detector explanation. But I haven’t flown for 20 years so wtf do I know?
If there ever was proof the TSA is a clown show security theater it’s in this bin. Too bad it’s never going away because the average citizen simply doesn’t care and no administration wants to be responsible for making a bunch of poorly educated government employees lose their jobs.
But if that’s before the checks then you’d get that far just having a bomb under your jacket anyway. The liquid thing is to prevent you from blowing up planes and shit that comes after the check
I feel like their job is to stop people from blowing up terminals and planes. They literally can’t stop terrorism on the public side of the gate. They have no means.

Why does the bottle of water have to be scanned with the rest of your luggage? Could it not simply be separated from the rest of your luggage?

DOGE?
Well I wouldn’t say no administration is above the responsibility of making a bunch of government employees lose their jobs.

Presumably the liquid explosives aren’t going to explode when diluted with loads of water and energy drink
What if I made a chemical that explodes in contact with that mix, check mate buddy
Well be the change you want to see.
May of what? “May have” and not “may of”.

“Bomb juice”
It’s always been theater.
