Banning Liquids On-board Airliners – Maybe Not Such An Extreme Measure After All

ABC News recently published information about the terror plot in the UK last year involving liquid explosives. In a test by Sandia National Labs (video link here), it seems that these liquids disguised as sports drinks could have done catastrophic damage. On the other hand, it is also clear that these would-be bombers lacked the expertise to actually detonate the bombs.

So, it seems that good intelligence still trumps the security theater that is still the status quo.
