Security Theater

XKCD on airport security.

I once failed to convince an airport security guard to let me keep my 150ml deodorant, as it was an aerosol containing gas and fine particles, but no liquids.

I also failed to convince them to let me keep plastic knitting needles by arguing that the pencils I had with me were far harder and pointier. They let me keep the pencils.

They let me through with a large cream cake recently, but not my chum with a jar of jam. Now, if I were a bomb maker, I'm sure I could engineer something the consistency of whipped cream that could explode. Or maybe just assault the Captain with it.

Slowly build up his cholesterol levels. They'll never suspect a thing!
