Not taking liquids on the plane..

When they tell you not to take the liquids on the plane, that doesn't mean you have to down the whole bottle...

hehe.. I thought it was pretty impressive.

Some new guy's joined our work who reckons he can drink a bottle of wine in 4 seconds... have yet to see that :)

Bet a student would've been able to down 2 or 3 and still want alcohol in flight!

Although that reads like a typical jumped up offical and a slightly stubborn passenger, the 100ml limit on liquids doesn't apply to duty free if its obvious it was brought at the airport. Had it been brought in Egypt itself then the idiot should have packed it in his luggage for the hold

Wouldn't mind betting it was really a case of the flight crew not wanting him drinking on the plane, no chance of them making up their wages charging for drinks ;)

Not true TEC. My mate recently went to Saudi and didn't have time to pack properly so bought all new toiletries at the airport. He was told to go and ge a refund or surrender them, even though he had a reciept. Oh, and this was on the London side!

So not actually DF ;)

Normal procedure in USA is to purchase the stuff in DF shop showing your boarding pass, you pay for stuff and it gets delivered to boarding gate, you collect there and take onboard, I have got stuff like that and transferred it between planes without any problems

I'd just like to point out that this time the blame for all this nonsense lies not with the liberal lefty Political Correctness Gone Mad crowd, but the gun toting police state campaigners suckered into believing that the works of Jack Bauer and Bruce Willis are actually documentaries and not Hollywood action guff...

Couple of excellent articles at thereg:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/17/flying_toilet_terror_labs/ - on how blatantly ridiculous it is anyway.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/10/30/lords_liquid_ban/ - scary debate in the lords, if you'll allow me to quote:

"We continuously monitor the effectiveness of, in particular, the liquid security measures..."
How, one might ask? But hold on:
"The fact that there has not been a serious incident involving liquid explosives indicates, I would have thought, that the measures that we have put in place so far have been very effective."
Ah, that's how. On which basis the measures against asteroid strike, alien invasion and unexplained nationwide floods of deadly boiling custard have also been remarkably effective.
