DISCLAIMER: THIS POST IN NO WAY ENDORSES THE STUPID RULES DISCUSSED IN THIS THREAD. IT IS MERELY "THINKING OUT LOUD" AND A THEORY REGARDING WHAT COULD HAPPEN, EVEN WITH THESE DUMBASS RESTRICTIONS.
How big plane do you blow up with 100ml nitroglycerin
(better security not shake it to much
)
Would you need to actually "blow up" the plane? Here's a thought for you, you don't. All you need is a "bang" on a plane nowadays and then everyone and everything goes nipples skywards. Set off a small one in the toilets or, even better, a small one that hurts a fellow pax and your terrorist cell has all the publicity they need as well as causing the chaos they desire. Restrictions get worse, security gets worse, yada yada, because of the ensuing publicity.
Sobering thought, isn't it. You have several planes with one "Jihadi" brainwashed/willing to do such a thing and no restriction on solids or liquids will stop the chaos they want happening.
