...and just yesterday I watched a scientific report on German TV, saying that:

- it was never proven that the alleged "terrorists" from last year really had any dangerous substances on them
- it is practically IMPOSSIBLE to produce the explosives in less than 12 or 14 hours time on board, because the explosives that were intended to use are highly explosive as powder and drying them (for cristallization) takes that long.

Result: All these new rules are complete BS and useless. Luckily some countries allow us crews on duty to take again all our belongings, including liquids of any quantity, into the security area inside the airport buildings.
