Duct Tape, Part 2

Remember when we were all told by Homeland Security to have mass quantities of duct tape on hand for the next big terrorist attack? Well, I do believe they are at it again.

You've all by now heard about the foiled terrorist plot in England that is causing havoc at American airports, right? Apparently, due to some of the plot points including liquid explosives, we now can no longer take anything liquid onto any plane - whether it's a bottle of water, liquid makeup, shaving cream, you get the picture. Although I did hear we could bring baby formula or liquid medicine. So I have a question. Don't you think terrorists could figure out how to put liquid explosives into these two items? Hellooooo?

::rolling eyeballs::

Now I read this morning that TSA is dumping all the liquids they've collected. Or, in the case of Phoenix, they're giving the unopened bottles of shampoo to charity.

"Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport planned to give 11 boxes of surrendered items to the city's human services department, which will give the unopened bottles of shampoo, toothpaste and other items to homeless shelters, airport spokeswoman Lexie Van Haren said."

So my question is...if it's safe enough to give to homeless people, why isn't it safe enough to take on a plane?

Could we get any more STUPID? That's why Homeland Security is "On Notice." See below post.

This is our government, folks.
