TSA Liquid Ban: Three Ounces of Idiocy
I just got back from the drug store, where I spent my time buying obnoxiously cute travel hygiene products smaller than three ounces -- in order to adhere to this idiotic new TSA liquid ban when I fly to Europe later this month.
The liquid ban was put in place because of an alleged terrorism plot to blow up UK airplanes by mixing hydrogen peroxide and other liquids. Scientists have debunked the threat of terrorists mixing explosive "piranha bath" in flight. It's just not plausible.
Now on top of that, the terrorism case that spawned the rule change has turned out to be bunk.
