Liquids are not allowed on board because the entire (alleged) terror plot revolves around liquid explosives. This has been confirmed by official sources, and thus the Department for Transport have put in place additional security measures which state that passengers are not allowed to take liquids on board. You can buy drinks on board because they're not liquid explosives, obviously.Concorde Rules said:Not allowed drinks on th plane yet we can buy water, wtf![]()

mrdbristol said:I quoted you in full , and there was no mention of delays , so please don't add to your statement after.
Directly , it doesn't affect me at the moment as I am not travelling.
But , if I was , then I would respect the measures put in place by people with far more knowledge than you or I and live with it.
If your personal comfort is more important than the potential loss of life to others , then thats your opinion.

PAKISTANI INTELLIGENCE HELPED BRITAIN FOIL PLOT TO BLOW UP AIRCRAFT-PAKISTANI OFFICIAL SOURCE - RTRS
ISLAMABAD, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Pakistan's intelligence service helped British security agencies foil a plot to blow up several aircraft flying between Britain and the United States, a senior Pakistani official said on Thursday.
"Pakistan actively cooperated to make this happen," the official said on condition of anonymity. "There was very close cooperation between the intelligence agencies of the two countries."
The official said action was being taken in Pakistan, but would not confirm whether any arrests had been made in the country.
fRostiE said:Hi mark,
i'd like to draw your attention to the comment i made in my origional post about my father, and i quote
you can interpret my comments in any way you see fit, it doesn’t make a jot of difference what some 39 year old bloke from Bristol thinks... if MSNBC the news channel in America has the power to bring the fact that laptops and iPod are not and may never be allowed on an airplane again then i certainly can too, if you'd like to be a keyboard warrior then fair enough but just appreciate your instant reaction to flame another member of these forums might not always be accepted.
Obviously im not going to go against the requests of airlines and go, oh sod it im taking my iPod onboard despite new security measures, i also accept pilots have more knowledge of planes than i do, thanks for pointing that one out.
i wouldn’t go so far as to say my personal comfort comes above the potential loss of live, if thats how you interpreted it then i apologies profusely... i was merely stating my disappointment in society today as to refuse me the use of my belongings on a piece of public transportation
read the above, im just a dissapointed 19 year old with a dream of flying home as comfortably as possible, alas society has let me down.
im off to enjoy my holiday now, bye![]()

If you say what about using to ignite power, well, whats your body 80 or whatever % made up of?
