Potential "Liquid Explosives" Helping Charity For The Homeless
The Associated Press reports that liquid items -- confiscated because they could be explosives -- at Eugene Airport, in Oregon, are being used by a charity for the homeless.

<snip>

Is it possible that the recent changes in airport policy weren't designed for our protection, but instead for the political gain of scaring Americans?

1. Hear on Thomm Hartman today that the process they would have to go
through to make explosives on a plane would be impossible to get away with. It would take several hours of work and space that is just not possible on airplanes today. So, yeah, I think we are just being jerked around, like the other two groups of 'terrorists' that they arrested recently, they were also not very 'dangerous'.

2. follow-up
on JABBS about a woman who was detained in West Virginia after two false positives for liquids she was carrying.

What a mess. What a huge mess.
