    I guess the idea is that you shouldn’t be allowed to bring enough liquid to mix into some kind of explosive large enough to do harm (but also a lot of airports earn good money from people buying their $5 water bottles)

      Could explosive liquids be mixed to a concentrate? Or something to get past security before making it lethal with water from the bathroom? I’m guessing not since no one has done it.

        The whole thing is silly anyway because determined attackers could just bring like 5 people with many small containers that they add together after the security check.

          apparently individuals are allowed to bring up to 9 smaller bottles of liquid limited to 3.4oz/100mm each. 9 x 3.4oz is literally a quart. same as having two normal sized bottles. lmfao the US is so stupid

        yes people have mixed explosives and drugs into like, tires before to get over borders. i would imagine you can do something like that for the soles of your shoes or something

        or just get a job at tsa, get chummy with them, and skip the line when you are ready for something nefarious. sounds trivial.

      Determined guy could still do it tbh, just carry pure nitroglycerin (despite old news, primo stuff is safe-ish as pure liquid). 100 g is enough to depressurize cabin, not that it would make much difference.
