Airport security is about to get technical with some people. Recently, mini pocketknives were allowed back on board, because, that's not where our security could be concerned apparently. Technology can, as of now, detect when a harmful (liquid) substance in on a plane or if there is an explosive making it important to have that feature in the plane with passengers. That same technology cannot, however detect what KIND of liquid something is, therefore still making shampoos, toothpastes, etc banned. Many people are wondering why this ban is being lifted, although there is a restriction on the knife blade length. The officials answered that they need to be more concerned with suspicious looking people as opposed to what they are taking on board with them, and that pocketknives have never really made any kinds of problems. I think it's a terrible idea and someone, somewhere is going to have a field day with this. Theres always that one person who takes a mile when you give them an inch; no good could come of this.
