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

I just checked in dito sa NAIA Terminal II and the liquid ban is now being strictly implemented. No choice, I have to check-in my baggage. The ban includes mineral water.

FYI - matagal nang bawal ang canned goods sa MRT.

Mahaba ngayon ang pila sa LRT for the inspection. Kapag may open bottle ka, papainom muna sa iyo to check. Hehe.

whew... nahalata tuloy na hindi gumagamit ng MRT, dahil promdi.

open bottle lang ba? pati siguro trash bins ay kailangan dagdagan, can't imagine 2 out of 10 pax with bottle to be disposed... ilan na ba ang pax volume per day ng MRT/LRT?

the security people will be so focused on checking for liquids they will totally overlook the ordinary solid explosive

flash report: MRT is currently pretty empty due to very long lines of passengers waiting to be checked for "banned" items before getting on the train. It's actually faster to take the bus to get to your destination.

Oh no!... next sa bus naman ban din yung mga liquids and gels?!?

paano ba yan kung may dala kang baon with drink inside a coleman or similar? Di rin pwede? hay naku!

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.

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.
