<\/a>Water.<\/p>\nVery, very dangerous stuff.<\/p>\n
In the TSA <\/a><\/strong>handbook it is potentially lethal.\u00a0 And we’re not talking drowning.\u00a0 Who knows what that colorless liquid could be?\u00a0 A potential molotov cocktail<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Battery acid.\u00a0 Ammonia, chlorine and other colorless liquid material that when shaken (not stirred) will blow the cabin to smithereens.<\/p>\n The result?\u00a0 Each time you go through the TSA lines you pass mountains of perfectly good (and expensive) Aquafina<\/a><\/strong>, Dasani<\/a><\/strong>, and, Fiji <\/a><\/strong>… yes … Fiji … the water that traveled thousands of miles to reach a store shelf only to be jettisoned out of fear that it could explode in transit like some South Pacific volcano.<\/p>\n Well, the Chinese have the simplest and best answer to this nettlesome security problem.<\/p>\n According to wire service reports<\/a><\/strong>, as part of security in Bejing, “commuters are being asked to take a swig from water bottles on the subway to ensure they do not contain suspicious substances.”<\/p>\n It’s the “take a swig” test.<\/p>\n You want to bring it?\u00a0 Then let me see you drink it.<\/p>\n If you don’t choke, vomit, blow smoke, writhe in pain, or otherwise groan and complain like the fat guy in the Batman film Dark Knight<\/a><\/strong> … well then you get a free pass.<\/p>\n<\/a>You can only bring it if I see you drink it.<\/p>\n
