Pure Genius

As Boing-Boing and others have pointed out: if today's foiled terrorist plot involved smuggling the components of a liquid explosive onto a plane and then igniting them either via a spark from an electronics device or by shaking the contents vigorously, then why are the geniuses at the TSA taking all liquids from passengers and then COMBINING them together by pouring their contents into garbage cans and the like?




ANSWER: they know these items are safe, and that today's restrictions are unnecessary.

So, why are they making people do this?

ANSWER: the government wants you to be scared so they can take your freedoms from you. They don't want you to remember that, for instance, driving your car is way more dangerous than an act of terrorism.

As zefrank says, don't be afraid. Its really the only way to defeat terrorism.
