Carry-on Liquid Requirements

When are they going to lift that ban on liquids? Do they really think a 'motivated' individual(s) will be stopped by it? Instead of enforcing these cumbersome restrictions on travelers, they really should train the security staff to conduct smarter checks that include analyzing body language -- similar to conducting applicant interviews. Asking why someone is leaving their job or where they see themselves 5 years from now doesn't tell you anything. They can prefabricate any story. However, by conducting behavioral interviews, you can find out how the applicant thinks in various situations. This type of checking should be incorporated into the check-in process.

Found an interesting story on someone's encounter with TSA:

  1. Agreed.

    As for that post you linked to...that shit is ridiculous. The only people that should be stopped are those like me, who usually have propellant/explosive residue all over our clothing on the return trip. ;)
