    Too dangerous to allow a liter of liquid on a plane.

    Let’s mix them all together in an airport where nothing bad can happen.

      The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

      It’s not “too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane”. It’s “we can’t detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it”.

        That doesn’t make sense. If that was the only reason, it would be easier and safer to just get people to take their liquid, in its container, out of the bag at scanning time
