No liquids on planes

I'm not so sure that disallowing shampoo and toothpaste, let alone bottles of water on planes will save us all from terrorists. Sounds like overkill to me. Like the hysteria about nail clippers and tiny pocket knives after 9/11. And I already started a "conspiracy" thread on this happening so soon after Lieberman's defeat. The british authorities were already watching these guys; they didn't even have passports OR airplane tickets and the US insisted they arrest them THEN.

If people can mix chemicals together to create explosions, why aren't they doing it in the marketplace? I'm with you on this one. Makes you wonder who's being manipulated. You have a lot of business people travelling. Between the oil and the airlines, there won't BE any commerce left.
