that old chestnut ...

OK, I'll pour a litre of Jack Daniels over you, you pour 101ml of water over me - then we'll throw lighted matches at each other.
If there is a survivor from that; you use your bottle as a club, I'll break mine on a metal seat fame and use it as a knife and we'll see who does best at that one !!!

The main thing that keeps the vast majority of air travellers safe is that the would be terrorists are a tiny bit more stupid than the people who dream up these rules.

why are you trying to confuse matters ...a litre bottle of jack daniels would have to have been bought airside of security. ....the 101ml of clear liquid shouldn't be allowed through security because the limit is 100ml .
how are you going to pour a litre bottle of jack daniels over me ? do you believe i'll start burning when you throw a match at me? what purpose would this aid if you were a terrorist on a flight ?
i'll repeat it again for those that are interested ...the liquids restrictions are in place because the greatest known terrorist threat to an aircraft at this moment is use of liquid explosives

i don't believe a lot of what comes from the security services but the liquids limits makes sense from everything i've read
