If the TSA was going to ban an entire phase of matter from the cabins of their planes, couldn't they have started with plasmas? I mean, not allowing passengers to bring plasmas onto a plane would be a reasonable security measure in my opinion.

Glass is NOT a liquid, not in any reasonable definition of the term. It's a solid with a diffuse crystaline structure.

Oy, and I used to be a chemist!

I guess it isn't a liquid. But it's a mighty odd solid. It's as much a liquid as baby powder is, though!
