Next time you pass, throw a packet of yeast in there.
130Could 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.
65I have no idea what you're talking about, that's my homemade kombucha. I was going to try it for the first time on the flight, but I guess that's not happening now.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.
18Or get foamy and smell like bread, as the case may be.

Or a mentos!
15What do you mean? It's probably too acidic to have any big reactions with yeast, no?
6Regular beer/bread yeast can handle pH down to 4, so I think it is likely to work.

Never fails to amuse me that in order to fight to “threat” of binary explosives i.e. two liquids that explode when mixed together…
85I prefer my explosives non-binary, thank you very much.
14That’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 😒9IDK 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!
60They are not dangerous, that's not the reason they are not allowed.
3The 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.
44Thinking 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...
39When in Rome, use the Roman urinal?

Boston Airport won't even sell you a beer before 11. Damn puritan masshole laws
38Calgary has a liquor store in the domestic terminal after security. Not a duty free, a liquor store. Just in case you want a 5th during take off.
8Sure beats buying 10 tiny bottles before the flight.
3My hometown has that as well. We've got some of the cheapest booze in the country because of how our taxes work
2When I was flying out of Orlando for a work trip last year I was really struggling to find somewhere selling coffee after security. I finally found it tucked in the back of a concerningly well-stocked bar

That's pure evil

Okay. unzip
32But, 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
25The point isn't that liquids are explosive, the point is that water messes up the explosives detection. It's "liquids are not allowed, because water is a false positive for explosives and we want to avoid the false positive".
That's why it's starting to get allowed in many airports - they updated their detectors to newer technology where water is no longer a false positive.
Nobody thinks your bottle of water is a bomb.
11That makes sense and would almost reassure me if they didn't have a 95% failure rate in tests. The data is super old but I can't find anything to suggest it's improved since then.
4According to several TSA agents in my travels to and around the US, at least, when I asked why my water had to be discarded, they all said variations of the same thing, "it could be an explosive". And the news broadcasts I've seen when this measure was first implemented were telling people that these "new types of explosives" look like water and are hidden inside water bottles, and the water can even be sipped on without harm to the person from the heavier-than-water liquid explosive. So, while it may have been a lie, it was one that approved the measures. "False positives" were never communicated.

I bet that smells just like my Mom's pussy.
17When you smelled it last night did it remind you of that?
13Oh I haven't been to Boston since last Tuesday.

Nephew, delete this

Have you heard of bartender's mat?
17I haven't but can only imagine

All liquids you say?
16When the terrorists empty their liquid explosives into there, you’ll get to smell like piss while the flesh burns off of your bones.
13I guess they finally got tired of cleaning up the mess people left behind when they had to throw away their drinks.
10no it's so they can save it all for the christmas party

10I’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.
8I am actually a janitor at an airport and these have little hoses on the back that we just put into the drain in the janitor closet. They smell like rotten eggs and midew at the same time and are the single most disgusting thing I have ever had to clean.
Most of them have either a grate on top to prevent trash getting in or a separate chamber on the inside that filters out solids.
13That’s so much worse than I imagined, I’m so sorry. Nobody should have to deal with that for security theater.

Are swamp water and jungle juice the same thing?
7I think swamp water is soda only.
6
We called that Hairy Buffalo back in the day
2What if we kissed 👉😚👈 over a jug of airport jungle juice?
2What if we held hands over the burning chemical reaction of the fluids dumped in there mixing together?
