I wonder how strict they really are being about banning all liquids. I mean, are they banning peanut butter? That's a liquid. What about glass? Also a liquid. And some of the things they're including, like lipstick and lip balm -- I'm not convinced that they're liquid.
Oh, and when my dad flew to Florida right after this thing started, they made him throw out his talcum powder. 'cause that's made from a liquid, or something.
Now, I could see legitimate reasons for banning fine powders (I mean, they can be much more combustible than the equivalent mass of a solid material), but what a lame explanation.
