Today I was stripped of my shaving cream and tooth paste when attempted to go through airport security! What a pain in the butt! I had a hunch that they are not gonna let them through but rather than asking a friend I thought to try it for myself. Usually when you ask people a question they feel obliged to answer even though they don’t know the answer!! So I said to myself may be a pressurized gel is different from just gel and may be it’s ok. Anyhow, my carry on was caught by the screening machine and I had to open my bag and expose my dirty laundry!! You say who cares? obviously I do!
Notwithstanding my story, I want to make a point that US government and perhaps others always seem to be behind the curve. They do catch up game with terrorists!! How? You very well know it. 9/11 had to happen before they decided that knives & box cutters are bad ideas on the plane. Thanks so much!! Then they waited for the shoe bomber (The guy who wanted to set off explosives in his shoe on the plane. If you saw the guy’s picture you never forget it!) before they decided to check people’s shoes when boarding the planes!!
How about anti terror gurus predicting these things beforehand?!!
Ofcource after the latest attempt to use liquid explosives, we all have to live with the inconvenience of not being able to carry any liquid on board, including juices and drinks!! Aren’t you alarmed that whoever is in charge of safety seems to be lagging behind all the time and waiting for terrorists to come up with the idea first?!! Something is seriously wrong with this picture!! On the other hand if we are to extrapolate the situation pretty soon everyone is allowed to get on board only with underwear!!
