Not surprising since their entire purpose in life is to waste resources on security theater, instead of making anything safer in any actual, measurable way.

Hey, making people throw out their water bottles before getting on a plane is how we'll stop Al Qaeda.

14 of the 19 Hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, financed and imparted spiritually from said Kingdom, but water bottles are the issue. Can you hide box cutters in water bottles?

I don't think the concern is hiding box cutters in water bottles, but liquids used in explosives or for acid attacks.

Like yeah, Saudi Arabia should be held accountable for their involvement in 9/11, but those security restrictions on flights are just random to annoy you.

There's thought behind why they ban certain things from flights.
