Ultimate ring of fire
Might have toothpaste in, though. (Yes this is where I draw the line)
My dad worked at Gatwick Airport as a cleaner in the 70s when he was a teenager. His first week there, a woman drops a duty free bag with a bottle of booze in it and he rushes over to clean it up. He’s just about to put the bag, full of liquid booze and broken glass, in the bin when one of the senior porters stops him and tells him to bring it in the back. Turns out they had a filtration system in the break room for this exact scenario. They’d pour the booze out of the plastic bag and through a sieve that would collect all the broken glass, it would all go into a big container at the bottom and voila, free booze! They offered my dad some, but he declined. Anyway, I guess if you were working at Gatwick in the 70s you could have had a chance to drink some airport jungle juice, you’d just need to be brave enough.
who brings booze into an airport?!
The duty free bag implies it was purchased at the airport.
I so want this to be real and not real at the same time
“We do this to to remove all the explosive fluids”
And completely ignore the drugs I forgot to take out of my bag
I love the one time they didn’t like the hard drive expansion bay with vents in my laptop but decided it’s okay because it can’t be opened by hand but didn’t care about the screwdrivers in my carry-on bag that I forgot about which would allow me to access the expansion bay in flight if desired
I think k putting all the explosives together in one big container is a better idea than collecting Al the drugs
And then, being the law abiding citizen, I tried to relinquish my explosive fluids… Turns out they didn’t mean diarrhea. I think I made several lists that day, not sure which though.
Drop a box of baking soda in there, you’ll be through that TSA line in a jiffy.
Damnit now I have to dump all this bleach and chlorine
Just makes me want to pee in it
explosive pee
why
I can only guess that this is a man, because only men have thoughts like this.
Because “All liquids”
What if someone brought a cleaner and a cleanser? Does the TSA really want those two mixed right there?
anybody wonder what they do with that jungle juice…? cause the soda machines are tastin’ kinda funky…
time to carry soda through a solid silver-colored cup that makes it look like the cup is made from metal
Too dangerous to allow a liter of liquid on a plane.
Let’s mix them all together in an airport where nothing bad can happen.
The liquids are not allowed because they mess with explosive detectors. Not because anyone thinks they are dangerous.
It’s not “too dangerous to allow liquid on a plane”. It’s “we can’t detect explosives in your luggage if there are also liquids in it”.
I thought that somebody could sneak a explosive liquid into a plane via cup or bottle, and that the liquid could look so much like coffee or water or fuckin diet Pepsi that the security people were like “nah bro we aren’t gonna test it”.
That doesn’t make sense. If that was the only reason, it would be easier and safer to just get people to take their liquid, in its container, out of the bag at scanning time
Agree, but security theater is more important, clearly.
Why can’t the liquid be allowed on the plane after the rest of your luggage is scanned then?
what if terrorists brought actual bomb juice and poured in in there and then just flicked a match into there and the whole fuckin airport blew up? things to think about when youre on your way to the airport.
Or something which acts like a catalyst to make all kinds of soda explosives! (I’m not a chemist, so please don’t judge me for this ridiculous statement)
oh woops i just dropped my family size roll of MENTOS in the jungle juice
Every time I’m at an airport I’m just struck at how much it’s changed since I was young.
In the olden days, it was like a big, clean bus station, people were free and happy and kids were running around, no barriers or guardrails anywhere. Now it feels like a funeral procession getting on a plane with the amount of searching and scanning and poking and prodding and massive walls of rules being posted about what you can’t do or say and one-way labyrinths of security hell.
And you could even smoke on the plane
Okay, some things have improved.
I feel like putting a Mentos in there.
show the tsa who’s the real liquid-emptier
Move beyond. Focus forward, your goals, your life, your family. Let it go.
Everything that matters to me is in that bin.
Get bent.
Lot of dead people in an airport after someone with an ammonia based cleaner they have to dump out right after someone else had some bleach they had to pour out.
Ammonia cleaner + bleach = terror attack, noted.
Surprised to see Irn Bru on the graphic
That’s a pee bottle.
Irn bru and NA orange pop look very similar.
