TSA misses magazine clips

you carry a 4oz bottle of an inert substance. Someone else aboard the same plane carries a 4oz bottle of inert substance. You mix the two together and they become 8oz form of Nitro glycerin. Enough to blow the side out of a 747 at 35,000 ft.

How is that different than 3 people each carrying 3oz containers?

Also why are liquids only dangerous traveling to/from or within the U.S.? In many other countries larger volumes can be carried on board, just as they don't remove shoes etc.

Finally why is the beverage you paid multiple times market value for from a "secure" vendor safe to take on board when it was only passed through the same walk-thru metal detector that you did? Why can't they scan your beverage in the same way?

Optical illusion... the TSA does nothing but present the illusion of security.

Check through in Hong kong. They'll take water you bought after the security sweep.
