Next time you pass, throw a packet of yeast in there.

Could even mix the yeast into a bottle of sugar syrup beforehand to give the juice a boost of yeast food. And less suspicious when dumping it.

I have no idea what you’re talking about, that’s my homemade kombucha. I was going to try it for the first time on the flight, but I guess that’s not happening now.

Or get foamy and smell like bread, as the case may be.

What do you mean? It’s probably too acidic to have any big reactions with yeast, no?

Regular beer/bread yeast can handle pH down to 4, so I think it is likely to work.

Never fails to amuse me that in order to fight to “threat” of binary explosives i.e. two liquids that explode when mixed together…

by definition this occurs before security, so anybody that wanted to could just bring a regular explosive

Aren’t the dogs trained to sniff out regular explosives?

Generally speaking, police dogs are trained to alert on command and are not used for actual investigation.

Yes, SAR dogs exist and properly trained dogs exist as well. However, the overwhelming evidence shows dogs are not a reliable tool when used by police.

Welcome to the downfall of an empire.

Most of the airports in the US have some sort or chemical detector too. I always get my hands swapped going through PDX because I brought so scary looking circuit boards with my carryon 5 years ago.

Yeah, but just like an M-80 so the whole checkpoint is splattered with drink and hand lotion.

Not a big enough target for terrorists.
Imagine having planned the next 9/11 but then instead you have to just blow up part of an airport instead 😒

IDK Boeing is doing a good enough job in the air, maybe it’s time to move on to ground based targets.

TSA would just set up a checkpoint-checkpoint and add a few hours to our departures… yeah, I think this is going to work for everyone!

Liquids may be dangerous, so let’s mix them all together!

They are not dangerous, that’s not the reason they are not allowed.

The risk is explosive so mixing them with other fluids is probably not a problem.

Oh darn guess I’ll have to pour my separate bottles of bleach and ammonia in there since they’re not allowed past security checkpoint.

Thinking the same thing. Oh shoot! I need to pour my bromine out! Proceeds to dump 1 gallon of fuming bromine into liquid receptacle.

Look, I’ve been in this air terminal for the past three days, no thanks to CrowdStrike…

I dunno where else to empty my [redacted] collection bottle, but I had to entertain myself somehow…
