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".

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..

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.
