Next time you pass, throw a packet of yeast in there.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Or get foamy and smell like bread, as the case may be.
Or a mentos!
What do you mean? It’s probably too acidic to have any big reactions with yeast, no?
Regular beer/bread yeast can handle pH down to 4, so I think it is likely to work.
Could even mix the yeast into a bottle of sugar syrup beforehand to give the juice a boost of yeast food. And less suspicious when dumping it.
Never fails to amuse me that in order to fight to “threat” of binary explosives i.e. two liquids that explode when mixed together…
by definition this occurs before security, so anybody that wanted to could just bring a regular explosive
Aren’t the dogs trained to sniff out regular explosives?
Most of the airports in the US have some sort or chemical detector too. I always get my hands swapped going through PDX because I brought so scary looking circuit boards with my carryon 5 years ago.
What do they swap them with?
Are they shipped separately?
It’s been a few years, but they are white round pads, probably 3 inches wide. I’m not sure what’s on the pad, probably a solvent of some kind.
The pads go in a machine about the size of an larger microwave oven which I believe uses NMR to scan for nitrates and other kinds of explosive residue.
It was a pair of highschool level sumo robots, lots of wires and motors and gears.
In case you haven’t realised, the correct word is swab/swabbed. You are being made fun of for swapping the correct word for a different word.
I think you mean swabbing the correct word.
Yeah, but just like an M-80 so the whole checkpoint is splattered with drink and hand lotion.
I prefer my explosives non-binary, thank you very much.
That’s actually way more common than the government wants you to believe;-)
Not a big enough target for terrorists.
Imagine having planned the next 9/11 but then instead you have to just blow up part of an airport instead 😒IDK Boeing is doing a good enough job in the air, maybe it’s time to move on to ground based targets.
TSA would just set up a checkpoint-checkpoint and add a few hours to our departures… yeah, I think this is going to work for everyone!
Liquids may be dangerous, so let’s mix them all together!
The risk is explosive so mixing them with other fluids is probably not a problem.
Oh darn guess I’ll have to pour my separate bottles of bleach and ammonia in there since they’re not allowed past security checkpoint.
Thinking the same thing. Oh shoot! I need to pour my bromine out! Proceeds to dump 1 gallon of fuming bromine into liquid receptacle.
Instructions unclear, unzips…
When in Rome, use the Roman urinal?
It says all liquids!
Look, I’ve been in this air terminal for the past three days, no thanks to CrowdStrike…
I dunno where else to empty my [redacted] collection bottle, but I had to entertain myself somehow…
/s
“Sir, you forgot to pour in your blood…”
“I don’t need to empty that, thanks.”
Okay. unzip
But, if they’re explosive, wouldn’t emptying your explosive with a soup of everyone else’s explosives, be a bad idea? Unless… is all this “security theater” just for show??
E: grammar
I bet that smells just like my Mom’s removed.
When you smelled it last night did it remind you of that?
Oh I haven’t been to Boston since last Tuesday.
Nephew, delete this
cloaca
Have you heard of bartender’s mat?
I haven’t but can only imagine
All liquids you say?
When the terrorists empty their liquid explosives into there, you’ll get to smell like piss while the flesh burns off of your bones.
I guess they finally got tired of cleaning up the mess people left behind when they had to throw away their drinks.
no it’s so they can save it all for the christmas party
I’m imagining them having to change out the bag or… I guess bag-less bin…?
Unless this goes into a drain which is… equally super weird, actually, because it isn’t sink-shaped or anything… so now I’m imagining this super tall trash can with like a weak little drain at the bottom full of straws and bottle caps and stuff.
Are swamp water and jungle juice the same thing?
I think swamp water is soda only.
We called that Hairy Buffalo back in the day
