Having travelled since the regulations came into effect...
While I hate to sound bitter, it was AMAZING how much faster people got onto and off of the planes today when they weren't hoisting 20kg duffel bags over their heads. I won't deny that it added an extra 20-25 minutes to have to pick up my checked bags at the end of the trip, but I'd already gotten almost ten of those minutes back getting off of the plane more quickly...

Nuisance; created by terrorists
If it weren't for terrorists... such laws wouldn't have been inacted in the first place.

Now that such tactics have been used by terrorists... we are all succumbed to follow the current measures to deal with such tactics.

That said... until such time as liquid components can be properly identified... all liquids will be banned.

So who's to blame? The NSA or the terrorists whom have found a new method of terror?

They will exploit what ever means they can to reign terror amongst us.

Terrorists will not stop until they are eradicated.

Simple resolve: Continue to ban all liquids on flights until all terrorists are eradicated.

More complex resolve: Allow terrorists to co-exist and continue the ban of all liquids on flights.
