http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15110730 There are so many reasons why this is stupid, at the least, it looks like a cash grab. Let's hope that the weather is not too hot !
Ok....so I can put my booze, mixers, water, sunscreen, etc. in as many 100 ml containers as I want, right? Not a problem!
I'm seriously justthisclose to going to IIT-Stewart for an MBA and starting up my own business, FRT (For Risk Takers) Enterprises. Sporting events where you can bring what refreshments you want and CCW permit holders retain their rights; airlines like Plane Red with no screening at all unless you're covered in exposed dynamite sticks and blinkenlichten, wearing a shirt that says "BOOM!"; an automobile line with cars that don't speed-govern, auto-lock doors, or beep at you for driving without your seatbelt on (I had to expressly disable that on my car because the chime sounded every time you turned the car on and my routine involves starting the engine BEFORE the seatbelt goes on - spend a winter in Chicago and you'll understand why); and any other projects that my crack team of think-tank inventors can come up with to push back against the encroaching American safety fetish. Plus, the name of the business would have massive joke potential. Attention TSA, we FRT in your general direction!
