We took suspicious looking items through airport security on wednesday: massive glass candlesticks look opaque in the x ray machines, and had to be inspected.
Those things are heavy. The smallest weighed over a pound, the next one weighed 3 pounds, and the heaviest (which we left at my parents) weighed five pounds. I bet I could have done quite a bit more damage with them than with a carton of orange juice.
I look forward to seeing what will happen with the airport tax free industry if they stick with these measures.
Fun consequences of new security measures.
Conclusion: The proper management of suspicious potential explosives is to unceremoniously dump them together in large vats where they can be expected to mix into a giant fission bomb, and all liquid things sold in airports past security checkpoints are potential explosives.
In other news, the terrorists are winning.
