I still can not comprehend a number of things:

1. why is 1x200ml more dangerous than, say 2x100ml, or 3x100ml ?
2. why did we let this happen?
3. who was the politician ultimately responsible?
4. why isn't anyone doing anything? Media, newspapers etc?
5. why are arrangements for confiscating things different between airports (why did my shaving foam get nicked by some 17yo last week, but not the 5 times before)?
6. what effect is this having on pax? Its one thing to have stressed crew, but 200 stressed pax doesn't help either....yes I needed a drink after last week's nonsense!
6a) have people stopped flying because of security abuse and nonsense?
6b) have security nonsense contributed to illfeeling amongst pax?
7. why the arbitaryness of the list of things that are banned? Hell, some of them aren't even liquid...?
8. why can I buy the same or more "dangerous" after "security" ? And in larger quantities too?


I honestly believe that the next terrorist attack will be because of security staff taking a 200ml bottle of water off someone instead of noticing something far more serious.
Anyway, did all this above crap stop Plane stupid getting onto a runway (did this happen more than once?)

Anyway, I have to go buy a new toothbrush after it was confiscated....
