| My mate just got back from Holland and pointed out this lack of joined-up thinking. Take away your bottled water, but you can go to duty free and buy what you like.
Another point: the airlines do not allow metal knives and forks anynore - neither do the airport restaurants - supposedly because they could be used as weapons.
You can take litre bottles of duty free booze on board, though. Ever seen how much damage a smashed litre bottle of vodka can do?
Frankly, I think they introduce these security measures to assure the public that they are doing something. I'm sure a determined terrorist could get round any of these measures. |
