“Hair spray has just been added to the “No Fly” list at Miami International Airport.”

When Iran gives a nuke to Hezbollah to bring on a flight, I’m sure nukes will be banned on flights 3-4 minutes after it goes off.

Now THAT’s security.

They not only want us humiliated, they want us looking like the dirty hippies in the People’s Republic of Berkeley. No liquid mascara or lipstick, no hairspray, other items we are afraid to carry because we don’t want to have them paw through them (even if they are allowed).

I don't like the non-aerosol stuff. It just doesn't work as well.

Hair spray doesn't just 'blow up', there had to be a defect in either the can, or it was tampered with.
Tampering with a can tends to leave obvious damage to it.
Cans that have been tampered with will be obvious.
Unfortunately, The Sex Assaulters aren't smart enough to bother with the obvious, they'll just crack down on the honest normal people.

I grew up near MIA. I remember the graveyard of PAA & Northwest Orient Startocruisers tied down at the northwest corner; sitting in the cockpit of B-25s & B-26s; being on the flight deck of a DC-6 while the mechanics fired up the engines; Aero Commanders; C-119s.... God, it was great to be young there.

The problem with first reports is that they’re often wrong.
The baggage handler whacked a suitcase containing primer caps for bullets or shotgun shells and they went off. The owner has been arrested.
