Laughing Terrorists
If I were a terrorist, I would be laughing right now. I would be cracking up; hardly able to control myself.
I'm sure you have heard about the new regulations prohibiting any liquids or gels in carry-ons on airplanes, due to some intelligence that terrorists were planning to bring liquid materials to build bombs with.
No water. No toothpaste. No lipstick. No drinks. No shaving cream. No benzoyl peroxide.
This does two things--it either takes away any ability to pack in only carry-ons, or prohibits you from bringing your toilettries.
Many people have had problems: throwing away $50 perfume to security, having to repack bags, whatever.
Either way, the terrorists win.
1) They bomb us. We die.
2) They get caught trying to bomb us. We get seriously disadvantaged. We lose money. We are unhappy.
Okay, so I guess security has some advantages (like the non-dying part), but I would still be laughing.
