Look... We don't allow liquids cause they may be explosive, so put your possible explosive with all these other potential explosives in the busiest and most congested and concentrated area of this airport....i think I may of found a flaw in this plan

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.
Well I wouldn’t say no administration is above the responsibility of making a bunch of government employees lose their jobs.

DOGE?
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
What if I made a chemical that explodes in contact with that mix, check mate buddy
Well be the change you want to see.
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.

TSA anal probing everyone in a 10 mile radius around an airport

I feel like putting a Mentos in there.
Fuckin Logan Airport won't sell you a beer before noon. Goddamn bullshit puritan laws
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.
My little middle of nowhere airport will serve you before noon but damn you if you want a smoke or anything outside
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.
Flying out of Madison recently I saw so many people bringing cases of Spotted Cow as their stowed carry-on. There's a store right by the gate with a pile of cases for exactly this purpose of course
Drop a box of baking soda in there, you'll be through that TSA line in a jiffy.
My dad worked at Gatwick Airport as a cleaner in the 70s when he was a teenager. His first week there, a woman drops a duty free bag with a bottle of booze in it and he rushes over to clean it up. He's just about to put the bag, full of liquid booze and broken glass, in the bin when one of the senior porters stops him and tells him to bring it in the back. Turns out they had a filtration system in the break room for this exact scenario. They'd pour the booze out of the plastic bag and through a sieve that would collect all the broken glass, it would all go into a big container at the bottom and voila, free booze! They offered my dad some, but he declined. Anyway, I guess if you were working at Gatwick in the 70s you could have had a chance to drink some airport jungle juice, you'd just need to be brave enough.
I so want this to be real and not real at the same time

"We do this to to remove all the explosive fluids"
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
I think k putting all the explosives together in one big container is a better idea than collecting Al the drugs

Too dangerous to allow a liter of liquid on a plane.
Let’s mix them all together in an airport where nothing bad can happen.
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.
Every time I'm at an airport I'm just struck at how much it's changed since I was young.
In the olden days, it was like a big, clean bus station, people were free and happy and kids were running around, no barriers or guardrails anywhere. Now it feels like a funeral procession getting on a plane with the amount of searching and scanning and poking and prodding and massive walls of rules being posted about what you can't do or say and one-way labyrinths of security hell.

Ultimate ring of fire
Lot of dead people in an airport after someone with an ammonia based cleaner they have to dump out right after someone else had some bleach they had to pour out.
Ammonia cleaner + bleach = terror attack, noted.
Surprised to see Irn Bru on the graphic
Irn bru and NA orange pop look very similar.
Might have toothpaste in, though. (Yes this is where I draw the line)
What if someone brought a cleaner and a cleanser? Does the TSA really want those two mixed right there?
anybody wonder what they do with that jungle juice...? cause the soda machines are tastin' kinda funky....
