The thing is, it's all ridiculous. They ban sealed bottles of water, but they allow prescription bottles with the passenger's name on them.

HELLO! How hard would it be for some terrorist to get a prescription for eye drops or some shit and fill that container with explosive or whatever?

Remember the ridiculous thing where you had to turn your computer on and show the $6 an hour person that the screen lights up? How hard would it be to have stuck explosives inside the case anyway?

It's all totally stupid. And I agree, it's all about creating fear where none exists for the purpose of systematically stripping rights away. I just saw V for Vendetta and I think it's a pretty powerful indicator of how shit can happen.
