There was a great sketch on Saturday night live that enacted a sample meeting of TSA workers and their bosses. It’s not on the official NBC site yet, but for the moment you can find it here .After being told that it is now okay to bring 3 ounces of liquid on board because “it has been determined that 3 ounces of liquid cannot blow up an airplane, the TSA employees in the meeting ask some great questions:
“But 4 ounces can blow up an airplane?”
“What’s to stop two people from having 3 ounces and then meeting on the plane to combine them?”
“What if I am a passenger that does not have three ounces with me, but is confident I can produce 3 ounces myself on the flight?” (“You mean producing a liquid?” the supervisor asks. “Or a gel” the employee answers.”)
