In Europe (and Australia and other places) you can bring as much of a liquid on a plane as you want. In Australia you can also go thru security without a plane ticket so you can meet your relatives right at the gate when they arrive or wish them farewell.

That was the case in America as well until 9/11 happened.
Everything in airports changed here after that, and I’m glad.

I'm not. Considering the other countries don't have any trouble with some nefarious terrorist plot to sneak water bottles on planes, what the U.S. does is pointless theatre (perhaps best exemplified by literal theatre of Kristi Noem spending $200 million to plaster videos of herself all over every airport).

I take no issue with the “small” inconvenience at the airports since 9/11 after all, it was planes that the terrorist used- commercial aircraft.

What other countries besides Israel do terrorists chant to wipe off the face of the earth - besides America?

From the videos and TikToks I’ve seen, it seems Europeans are discovering why America has an obesity epidemic.

Yes. They are revelling in everything i’m supposed to pretend doesn’t exist.

But they also have nice things to say about the people they meet. :wave:

The terrorists did not hijack airplanes by using 4 oz bottles of shampoo.
