I see from the TSA<\/span> web\u00adsite<\/a> that we\u2019re now allowed small quant\u00adit\u00adies of liquids on board flights in the U.S.A., and I assume oth\u00ader coun\u00adtries will also start allow\u00ading these items. And knit\u00adting needles and books are still allowed, so we\u2019ll have some\u00adthing to do on the flights. The thought of a long flight to Aus\u00adtralia or Europe with noth\u00ading to do was not pleasant\u2026<\/p>\n

And you can now buy cans of drink again in the secure board\u00ading areas. I nev\u00ader under\u00adstood that par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar ban, I must admit. If you think about it, who\u00adever decided on that ban ascribed an abil\u00adity to plan and execute that far exceeds any\u00adthing any\u00adone is likely to pull off without being found out some\u00adwhere along the way. To get some sort of liquid explos\u00adive into a can of soft drink (pop) in a vend\u00ading machine in the secure area would be hard enough, but then mak\u00ading sure the right per\u00adson gets to that par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar can without any\u00adbody else acci\u00addent\u00adally get\u00adting in first seems impossible to me, if you pos\u00adtu\u00adlate that the per\u00adson who is meant to get the can has to act nor\u00admal so as not to attract atten\u00adtion. And then mak\u00ading sure the can does\u00adn\u2019t leak at any stage, par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlarly when it goes thump into the tray\u2026 Over\u00adall I think the risk of someone mak\u00ading a bomb out of ingredi\u00adents passed along in that way is infin\u00adites\u00adim\u00adal. Any\u00adone that organ\u00adized would choose oth\u00ader, easi\u00ader meth\u00adods. Bruce Schnei\u00ader calls this secur\u00adity theat\u00ader; his blog should be required read\u00ading for whomever sets the rules as well as those hav\u00ading to carry them out. For the rest of us, par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlarly those sub\u00adject to the rules, his art\u00adicles show clear think\u00ading. For example, this piece<\/a> dis\u00adcuss\u00ading the air\u00adplane secur\u00adity meas\u00adures and how the Lon\u00addon ter\u00adror\u00adists who star\u00adted the liquids scare were appre\u00adhen\u00added.
