On my Vegas trip last month, I happened to notice this posted sign detailing the current security procedures:
For whatever reason, it was the very top line that got my attention. These security procedures went into effect on September 26th of last year, at precisely 1:00 AM. If you had a red eye flight to catch at 12:59, well, that's one set of rules, but exactly 60 seconds later... that's something else entirely.
To me, that's just a perfect illustration of how capricious the whole "here's how many ounces of your shampoo we feel is a menace to air travel" thing really is.

My favorite is how I have to take off my shoes at the airport now. What if someone stuffed an explosive device down their shorts? Would I have to take off my pants?
Great Jason, way to give the terrorists ideas ;)
I have a friend who was a network security specialist at DIA. He had full access to virtually every computer system in the building, but would still get stopped with the yogurt he brought for lunch.
Of course, yogurt is kind of evil...
Come one, Dr. you have written rules before. You gotta be specific or people will but you all day about loop holes.
