If you put it this way, I don't want to see you naked, unless you are Ms September, of course, or "the nicest of her relative".

Jenna will do as well.

What about surrendering all your on-board items a few hours in advance for a careful security clearance? You collect them (in a labelled plastic bag) at the boarding gate.

Problem solved.

That better be a joke.

Why not it would go so much faster, like he said you surrender your stuff before in a see through plastic bag and one hour later everything checks out and you can go through without having to worry about it.

he said HOURS before. Are you saying you want to be at a flight 4 hours before it departs for a 1 hour flight time?

You think they have the staff or time to do chemical analysis' of every liquid you carry? What should they do... open a shampoo bottle to smell it and taste it to see if it can be mixed with another? You think they can wave a magic device to it and give you instant results?

Do you realize household cleaners and hair dies can be used to make bombs?

Better than a) Flying naked. b) Being annihilated at 22,000 ft.

Who brings household cleaners and hair dies to the airport anyway? Do you?

And what do they do differently when it goes in the luggage thing under the plane. Anyway you have to arrive now 3 hours before.

Aw that's nice. Problem is with no electronics either in the UK and if you stick them in your luggage insurance will not cover it.

[moodymonster]

in the UK if you're flying you can't have a bag larger than x. But flying in, you can. So you come into the UK with your bag, but can't take it back out (as hand luggage). The bag can be a normal bag, not transparent or anything - just smaller than anywhere else in the world.

Flying out of UK, no liquids - flying in, yes liquids

makes no sense.

based on my own experience waiting for luggage off the carousel, some of that stuff gets really bashed about and wouldn't be too kind to delicate electronics gear. I was at Stanstead the other day waiting for my bag and the luggage rolls up a belt and comes smashing down a ramp with a bang. Quite a few of the cases were only held together by straps (the cases' own locks had broken). You'd need a good quality case to keep anything delicate in if it's going in the hold.

I've heard that travelling domestic US, a good way of making sure your bag stays safe is to travel with a declared firearm (in the luggage)... obviously something you can't do in the UK.

btw, electronics are allowed on UK flights now - but are examined seperately.

Forget household cleaners and hair dyes; you can use Snickers bars and Oreo cookies. It's not the most powerful explosive out there, but you don't need much to take out a plane that's already under pressure. Should they start banning food from flights, too?

Banning liquids won't stop bombers, and we know it won't stop bombers, so what is the point of taking that tactic at all? The effort would be better spent looking into methods that actually stand a chance.

What's really scary is, as part of their training program, the terrorists involved in the plot were studying episodes of Macgyver.

"Of course, you can’t actually fire a rocket with a Snickers bar; the nuts would clog the nozzle."
