So with the hubbub yesterday regarding the liquid explosives, I got to thinking. Before yesterday you were able to bring glass juice bottles on airplanes (at least where I live) no problem.
What is the point of all checking for knives and using plastic cutlery and the like if all someone has to do is crack a glass bottle in the airplane and jab it at the pilot to get what he wants?

Or to do crack, while we're at it.

I was a little surprised at how lax the so called new hightened security measures truly are. Good thing I didn't have any terrorist intent at the time.
My friend however wasn't so lucky and they nabbed her only souvenier from Orlando.....a lighter. 😀

Thats because you had it so well hidden Mokko! 😉
Just neatly tucked away in a non suspecting place. Not even an arms width away from the other lighter that they scoffed. 😕

Originally posted by NordlysConsidering they took my friends nail clippers I'm surprised too! Enhanced security is a myth. It's just the luck of the draw.

Can those x-rays see through metal? Or distigush metal from other metal? What would happen if you place a few razors in the bottom of an altoid tin?
And NO! So don't even think it. I had a lighter stuffed inside a spare diaper in the carry pouch of the stroller. The other lighter was in the same pouch but not so neatly tucked away. So how did they get one and not the other?
EDIT:
How the heck are you coco?
