    Everyone should have realized it was security theater when nobody was asked to remove their underwear after the underwear bomber.

    Next up is to ditch the fluid restrictions.

    “I’m sorry, that’s too much fluid, here, let me dispose of it right next to this massive line of people in case it has an explosive, chemical, or biological component…”

      In Europe fluid restrictions have been lifted afaik. There’s new scanners where liquids don’t have to separated and you don’t need to take electronics out of your suitcase. I haven’t been on a plane since they came in but my girlfriend said that the time to get through security dropped from a couple hours to about half an hour last time she flew.
