    Me at American Airports: Why the fuck do I have to take off my belt/shoes and throw away my water? They just let me walk into a crowded airport with this shit…

      And all those potentially explosive water bottles are sitting in a trash can at the security checkpoint.

      This indicates that they know full well that their are no explosives among them. It’s just theatre.

      Earlier this year I had a connection in Doha, Qatar on my way to the US. I had to go through security twice even though it was a connection from another international flight (first was after getting off the first flight and the second was right before getting on second flight). Both times they took away all liquids, even those bought in the airport.
