Airport Security









Unless you have never been to airport, you probably have seen a sign like the one above. If you are a regular traveller you don't really think much of it anymore, you just know that if you want a drink you will by it after security and it's for every ones safety/ security that some things are not allowed to be carried on a plane.



The amount of products in 'travel size' (i.e. under 100ml) is amazing and the profit margin must be through the roof as they dont cost much less than the full size versions. I don't have problem with the 100ml rule if it makes air travel safer as you need larger volumes of liquid to make a bomb or whatever was the plan with the liquids/ gels over 100ml.



But what really started the whole need for this rant is some of the other things they sell past security in airports - like razor blades! Correct me if I am wrong, but a razor blade is a razor blade whether its before or after security (I highly doubt it was dulled down for security reasons).

Where did everything go wrong?
