The security alert was raised at Logan and other airports around the nation after officials in Great Britain disrupted a terror plot to blow up airplanes from London to the United States.

The shoes have to be placed on an X-ray belt for screening before passengers can put them back on. This has been the SOP since the Reid episode. I have yet to be in a U.S. airport that doesn't require shoe removal and screening since that time.

"...it will allow up to 4 ounces of liquid..."
4 ozs of nitroglycerine can do a lot of damage, especially to an airplane's hull in flight.
To: NormsRevenge
I have a question. Can you take an empty bottle with you and ask the stewardess to fill it for you? I suck down more water then a salt cedar on a plane trip and I would hate to have the nice ladies running back and fourth bringing me water.

You can carry the 4 oz of nitro if you want, but I wouldn't touch the stuff with a 100 foot pole.

More TSA insanity. They don't have a clue, so they just keep changing the rules. Idiots!
To: Harmless Teddy Bear
"shake the bottle" = BOOM!
To: GarySpFc
Personally, I'd want to be much farther away than 100ft, G.

Nitroglycerin is very unstable and would likely go BOOM long before the idiot could get it on the plane.

Passenger Annie Jacobsen reported earlier this month in Women's Wall Street that the Syrians consecutively filed in and out of restrooms, stood nearly the entire flight in congregations of two and three, carried a McDonald's bag into the lavatory and passed it to another Syrian, and carried cameras and cellular phones to the restroom.
Just before landing, seven of the men jumped up in unison and went inside the restrooms. Upon returning to his seat, one man mouthed the word "no" as he ran his finger across his throat.
The men were flying on a one-way ticket via Northwest, and returning on a one-way ticket aboard JetBlue.

Methinks you're right, C. That'd be Reason #5 why I don't fly anymore... Reason #1 being, TWA 800.

Flyers can continue to wear shoes containing gel heels, but they must remove any sort of gel sole insert and put those into checked baggage. Achmed. Do you have gel in your shoes? Nope. No? Okay, come ahead....
