DoTC bans liquids from LRT, MRT (mmm...)

[ghosthunter]

I think the theory is, these liquid explosives need to be assembled/mixed with other chemicals and then you have to assemble the electronic detonator to make it work. The theory is, the terrorist will perform this task while at the privacy of an aircraft's rest room.

HOW CAN YOU ASSEMBLE A WORKING LIQUID EXPLOSIVE INSIDE AN MRT COACH? EH DI KINUYOG KA NG MGA PASAHERO.

You don't need to assemble it at the site... You can bring it pre-assembled with hidden wires or detonator hidden side the container (celfone?). To trigger it, just send a txt msg. I could build the basic celfone based trigger/detonator system back in high school. Imagine what more determined terrorist can do.

That's easy. Carry everything in a grocery bag (double bagged, so nothing will spill. Have them in different containers, preferably cans. It's a good bet that if you top off the can with ordinary powdered milk or some such item, they could ask you to open it without actually poking in the milk/flour/milo/etcetera.

Then, as you're sitting, reach inside (supposedly to grab something) and yank tape off the sides of the cans to reveal the liquids in a separate compartment underneath. Let them mix in the bag, toss in the detonator, and...

Of course, this is considering you would go to all that trouble. You could just hide gunpowder or C4 in the said can and put a small detonator inside. As if the security guards ever checked anything carefully.

There is already an existing ban on canned items inside the MRT/LRT.

It would be easier to build a very compact gunpowder based bomb if you really want to bomb the MRT train. It can be placed inside things like a hollowed out textbook or food takeout box.

Actually para sa akin nangyari na minsan ang binomba ang Lrt/Mrt di ba kaya pabayaan na lang natin sila at isa pa para sa mga tao rin yan.

[theveed]

I think he meant, pabayaan nalang yung mga security measures to take its place coz para sa passengers din ang benefit.

at least wala ng tapon or "unknown" liquids na natatapon sa upuan or poste or floor na kadiri... preventive and maintenance measures na rin kaya okay...

The security guards must be really illiterate about bombs not to recognize a "pre-assembled" contraption like that. We should presume the guards must be really dumb that they can only tell if it's a bomb if there is a big label on it saying "E X P L O S I V E S - H A N D L E W I T H C A R E".

Tiba-tiba yung security guard, meron na siya libreng pantulak mamyang merienda. Sprite 1.5 Liter pa at sardinas palaman sa tinapay.

[Bogeyman]

Paano yung me mga dala ng urine at stool sample para sa annual physical exam nila, hindi na rin sila pasasakayin sa MRT? Kunsabagay, toxic naman yung mga yun to begin with...

pinapaubos ba yung laman ng mga softdrinks? sumuko na siguro yung may ari ng 1.5 liter, mahaba-haba pa yung byahe at walang cr

Guitar bomb? Ala Desperado?

Oops. Guess I'm not helping either.

[EL Chicane]

Guitar bomb? Ala Desperado?

Oo, kailangan magitara mo yung "Stairway to Heaven" o kaya yung "Anak" ni Freddie Aguilar bago ka papasukin sa MRT. "Nung isilang ka sa mundong ito... " ... isang bagsak muna..

[roninblade]

i have a question since i've not been reading any news lately. is this a total ban or is this ban subjective?

[BoEinG_747]

tire ng Motorcycle bawal din sa Lrt/MrT...
nag cause daw ng bad smell sabi ng management

Papatikman din siguro pag may dala ka non

MRT-3 security personnel said the ban covers any form of liquid such as bottled water or beverages in cans such as iced tea or soda. Also prohibited are lotions, toothpaste, hair gel and other products of a similar consistency.

But passengers who are carrying these items will still be allowed to board the trains if they can present a receipt or, in the case of liquid medicine, a doctor’s prescription.

Those who do not have receipts must get rid of the items if they want to board the train.

For passengers carrying perfume, cologne or similar items, they will be asked to spray on the liquid to substance to prove that these are harmless.

A security officer at the Metrostar Express said the ban was ordered by Transportation Assistant Secretary Roberto Lastimoso, MRT-3 general manager.

It was imposed after the Department of Transportation and Communications (DoTC) ordered security tightened in the country’s airports, seaports, land terminals and railways, particularly the elevated light railways following the foiled UK terror plot.

Security officials at the MRT-3, however, said that although the ban was prompted by the foiled plot, there was no specific threat in the Philippines and the additional security measures being implemented were merely preventive .

Just to impress Uncle Sam that we take any terrorist threat seriously, kahit di tayo kasama sa gulo. Sa sunod dapt nakapaa lahat ng MRT pasahero dahil sa Shoe Bomber.
