Are liquids still off-limits on airplanes, and has there been any |
|
explanations why? Were the liquid bombers foiled? Has anyone heard anything about this lately? Hmmm... You'd think if this was a real threat they'd be shouting it from the rooftops. Did they inconvenience millions for nothing?

1. 'Did they inconvenience millions for nothing?' |
|
Yes. In the name of "doing something". And liquids, gels and aerosols are still prohibited as carry on.

2. Yes, no liquid or gel carry on items still in effect. |
|
I just flew yesterday. Actually it wasn't much of an inconvenience for me but I can see where it would be for others.

How easy was it to get water on the plane? Oh, and I don't mean just a "drink" -- I mean large quantities. I go through close to two quarts on an overseas flight. so I always used to bring a sports bottle of 24 or more ounces with me just for starters.
That's my primary problem flying...keeping hydrated.

Only a short flight from Orlando to Philadelphia. I would think you could get as much water as you wanted, it doesn't seem like it would be a problem.

A slight inconvience for me but I put up with it knowing the times in which we live.

with this case or whether we were terrorized for nothing.
