thank you for the response, i was actually asking for information; apologies if the tone sounded sarcastic.

This detail seems relevant:

> Yousef smuggled the nitroglycerin on board by putting it inside a small container, reputedly containing contact lens cleaning solution.

if that's the basis of "no liquids on planes" rules then its horseshit. make people shake the bottle at the security checkin.

Almost all the security theater relies on things being to scary for people to think about. Nitroglycerin when liquid is not yer friend. Ricin was never the boogeyman the media made it out to be. And on and on for years now.
