What a money making service as well. This just amounts to another tax on travelers if they have liquids deemed dangerous by the powers that be.

I completely agree with you, Kfunk, about the restrictions, but I don't think the powers that be are fooling anyone. Everyone I know agrees that the restrictions are beyond moronic; however, what do we do about it? Who do we complain to? Who do we go to and say, "Ok, seriously, stop protecting us, we don't want to end up boarding planes in airline-issued jumpsuits and disposable foam flip-flops"? I think everyone feels like our hands are tied- the choices are either not to travel, or to adhere to whichever ridiculous rules have been cooked up to "protect" us.

Hey, Cee-Lo is very sensitive about his size, and he's been trying to lose weight. You could at least be supportive.

I hate these stupid restrictions. Any sensible evil-doer would just put their toothpaste or whatever into their pocket and waltz thru security onto a plane and then *boom*. All these stupid restrictions do is inconvenience travelers and otherwise demean us on our way to our next flight. Check out Prof. Ian Lustick's belief that 'terrorism' is so easy to accomplish that there cannot be many terrorists out there or there would be many more terrorist attacks. Hopefully the American public gets their collective heads out of their asses and starts to oppose these restrictions.
