And dumbened isn't even a word. See how quickly it spreads?
Starting this week, you are no longer allowed to bring any liquids, gels, or pastes of any kind with you on an airplane (well, at least not in your carry-on bags). Yes, there is growing concern that millions of Americans, most of them too stupid to tie their own shoes, are going to use that Dasani bottle and some Zoloft to cook up a dirty bomb and crash their planes into who knows where.
The illusion of safety on airplanes grows, you're deprived of precious cans of Red Bull and Dr. Pepper, and merchants in the airport concourses suffer great financial losses because they can't peddle their over-priced sunscreen.
Oh, and your shoes are going to be x-rayed now. Won't that be fun? "Experts" ask that you arrive to airports over two hours early now to make it through all the additional and useless screening processes. I'm sure this will send airplane company profits through the roof (that is, crashing down into the roof since they're airplanes and we assume they are flying). But hey, the taxpayers can just bail them out again when they complain about it.
Ah, the cycle of stupidity continues. But at least we're now more certain that we might be able to prevent a possible terrorists attack that may or may not occur at any given moment.
It was also nice of most major news sources to tell everyone which chemicals can be combined to make weapons. That sure is the best way to prevent it from happening. Of course, chemistry textbooks have had that information published for years, leading us to the only possible conclusion that chemistry professors are terrorists.
