This essay also makes the same point that we're overreacting, as well as

describing a 1995 terrorist plot that was remarkably similar in both

materials and modus operandi -- and didn't result in a complete ban on

liquids.

Garrison Keillor's take. :doh:

 

This way, if some guy in a burnoose sets up a chemistry lab in Row 24 and mixes hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid and acetone in a big beaker that is packed in 15 pounds of dry ice to keep it cool, and cooks up some triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, the passengers will be able, in the several hours it will take him to make the deadly explosive, to bring him under control, assuming the fumes haven't knocked Ahmed out. And they could nab the mastermind too, the monocled guy in first class petting the white cat.
