The religion of peace murdered 3000 people in New York and many others in several attacks across the US effectively starting "The war on Terror".

This is a bit spooky, I was just mulling whether a liquid bomb would be less viable if mixed from 100ml components rather than, say, 150ml ones.

I suppose something being seen to be done was required after the atrocities.

The liquids policy didn't actually come in after 9/11. It came in a when the potential liquid bomb threat was thwarted in 2006 and would have impacted UK flights.

I did wonder what doug was talking about, I knew about the liquid bomb attempt must later there was also the attempted shoe bomber.

much!

I would stick to 100ml. Those 150ml liquid volumes do appear to affect in a much more explosive fashion. (^_*)

yeah I was stopped from carrying meths ( me-OH for a meths burner/steriliser) onto an aircraft 1978

I said I should be able to replace it in Luxor or Aswan and he looked at me really weirdly

on that day, I was flying from Otopenyi ( Budapest) - and was telling the taxi driver that stalinist occupation had only lasted 50 y
whereas turkish domination was a few hundred.

there was no transdanubian renaissance (ever) which gives you an idea what the Turks were doing or not
doing.

and in the airport I walked in to see a monitor with an aircraft flying into a skyscraper. I s this real-time I asked a traveller. He said 'yes'

Also on this day, in 1973, the Chilean Coup d'tat!!

That was when they closed down their version of Primark.
