Here's a fairly dumb Huffington Post blog article I Need Some Hair Gel and Bottled Water about how the new airport restrictions are a little late. From what I can gather the restrictions are until they can perfect screening techniques to be used to find liquid component explosives. Whatever.What I thought of is this. People have gone to the airport with all these toiletries and left them there since they can't fly with them. So they fly, arrive and get to another airport...where people have left all these toiletries around. Sounds like a perfect swap shed opportunity. Maybe there should be a checkin counter at the airport where you drop off stuff, get a receipt and then at the destination airport you show the receipt for a mini Colgate Total Plus Whitening Gel and get one that someone else left. Maybe the airlines could work it into their checkin kiosks. Companies do such things for DVDs, why not for impossible-to-distinguish-from-highly-explosive toiletries?

I thought the same thing when they banned lighters/matches. To some extent it happened informally as smokers tend to be friendly in that mutually outcast kind of way.
