Good grief! You assume that the prohibition on liquids was immediately absorbed by all air travelers - when half our population does not even know the VP of the US. Then you assume that the obvious "TSA" idiots somehow given the power to establish regulations deserve any respect or regard at all by the people. Immediate compliance or else! Of course they don't. Clearly they are parinoid idiots.

What are your driving habits and how do they relate to sneaking contraband onto airplanes?

I, and most of the fellow travelers along the highway in my vicinity generally travel 15 to 20 mph over the (again, idiotic) 55 mph speed limit when conditions permit. We've learned to ignore the bureaucratic shit-birds who pass laws with complete disregard to the people and their rational enterprise.

Looks like you are one of the "goody-two-shoes" who snap the salute to the fuhrer no matter what the issue is.

Where do you live where the speed limit is 55? If you drive 15 miles over that, then you drive just as fast as I do, keeping to the limit! You imagine yourself to be an anarchist freethinking rebel while driving as fast as I do, you rebel.

You have not been out too much since the Carter Admin, I imagine, and have not flown recently or been near an airport if you think that people don't know about the ban on liquids. You have to buy a ticket; a warning on new rules comes up when I buy online. There are those blinking text signs driving in, posters at the terminal, audio warnings on the PA along with the No Smoking and Watch Your Luggage announcements, a verbal warning when you check in, big signs at the security queue, and the TSA person who checks my boarding pass and ID mentions it too. So I guess if you miss all that, it's no wonder you think the speed limit is 55!

The issue with the woman with the bottles is of concern to me because two chemical detectors and a dog sniffed explosives- the fact that she had bottles of liquid alone is of little import; I'm sure one or two other people did too, but did not set off the explosives detectors.

If you wish to allow folks on a plane who test positive for HE, you are better off driving 55 to your destination. Look out for der Fuhrer, he's coming up fast behind you with lights a'flashin!
