Airport jungle juice

If there ever was proof the TSA is a clown show security theater it's in this bin. Too bad it's never going away because the average citizen simply doesn't care and no administration wants to be responsible for making a bunch of poorly educated government employees lose their jobs.

May of what? "May have" and not "may of".

Presumably the liquid explosives aren't going to explode when diluted with loads of water and energy drink

But if that's before the checks then you'd get that far just having a bomb under your jacket anyway. The liquid thing is to prevent you from blowing up planes and shit that comes after the check

"Bomb juice"

I feel like their job is to stop people from blowing up terminals and planes. They literally can’t stop terrorism on the public side of the gate. They have no means.

It's always been theater.

The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

It's not "we don't allow liquids cause they may be explosive". It's "we don't allow liquids cause if you have any in your luggage, we won't be able to correctly detect explosives you might also have".

That's why some airports now allow liquids. Newer scanners can detect explosives even in luggages that also contain liquids.

Nobody thinks your bottle of water is dangerous. But your bottle of water will prevent the explosives detector from working.

show the tsa who's the real liquid-emptier

It also frustrates me how restaurants in international airports only follow the local "meal schedule." If everyone were in the same timezone all day, then okay, I can see why you'd only offer breakfast before 10am. But that isn't the case in an international airport. Why are all the dinner places closed? (Rhetorical question - I know the answer is "$$$")

But if you've been flying for hours, jetlagged from changing timezones, and you still need to catch a connecting flight, you may be ready for dinner/supper. It sucks when you want a more substantial meal, but the only options are eggy breakfast sandwiches and doughnuts.

It just makes more sense to offer options for any time of day in a place that's open 24 hours, where you know the people you intend to serve will be on different meal schedules from what the locals might follow.

And that includes allowing people to buy/drink beer. But alas, those damn blue laws supersede all of that.

You should fly through the Milwaukee airport some time. It's the only airport I've ever been to that just had beer carts everywhere, and you can just carry a beer with you throughout the entire airport. There are bins by each jetway where they make you throw your beer out before you can board. It's wild.

I so want this to be real and not real at the same time

who brings booze into an airport?!

explosive pee

why

I can only guess that this is a man, because only men have thoughts like this.

And then, being the law abiding citizen, I tried to relinquish my explosive fluids... Turns out they didn't mean diarrhea. I think I made several lists that day, not sure which though.

And completely ignore the drugs I forgot to take out of my bag

what if terrorists brought actual bomb juice and poured in in there and then just flicked a match into there and the whole fuckin airport blew up? things to think about when youre on your way to the airport.

The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.

It's not "too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane". It's "we can't detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it".

Irn bru and NA orange pop look very similar.

Ammonia cleaner + bleach = terror attack, noted.

Everything that matters to me is in that bin.

Get bent.
