BTW I assume that the reason they ban the carry-on liguids you buy AFTER security is that they have no real trust in the security of the "secured" areas. Too many low paid non cleared people work there.

Given that we had a few "experts" on this list about 3 weeks ago talking about the risks of "liquids" I think we should turn them in to Scotland Yard. It's just too, too convenient that they were talking about this so close to the event, don't you think?

It should be illegal to talk about any technology that we could fantasize might be used by suicide bombers on any internet service that can be read by anyone who doesn't have a security clearance, right?

And by the way, the CRC handbook should be removed from college and high school library shelves. Those dangerous chemical and physical facts can easily be used to damage the hull of airplanes (it would take me 5 mintues to take an airliner down with items that it would be extremely hard to prevent me carrying on board - perhaps if you thought about it, you could do so also. They teach stuff like that, I'm told, to all CIA agents).
