The most laughable part of the liquid ban, were all the trash cans they made everyone dump the stuff into. If these liquids (when mixed) we're being thrown into garbage cans, wouldn't one of them have exploded by now... More likely they enforced the ban jus to get the message out. But there are times when clearer heads think rationally and said this type of ban is stupid and counter productive.

But with all the limits on airplanes, maybe this will force the airlines to provide more space per passenger. The public should demand it. They've taken away your elbow space for years, now they've taken your computers, magazine, sustenance of life (water) and.... well most people will just deal...

I disagree with Starkiller, there's no way to adequately individually search everyone in a train system without making the average trip 2-3 times as long. There's going to be bad eggs, and they'll do some damage, but is it worth wasting thousands of people's hours of time to catch a fraction of those crazies. If searching on a train system is ok, why is that same searching technique not used on all the cars on bridges. There's 10 bridges into Manhattan, none of them have any searching going down. More bomb material can be in a car then on a person. And there's just as many people going over those public transportation infrastructure, why aren't the car drivers getting the same "protection" as the street walkers?
