I predict a move to arrest industrial designers

19 suspects in British terror plot ID’d:

The bombs were to be assembled on the aircraft apparently with peroxide-based solution and everyday carry-on items such as a disposable camera or a music player, two American law enforcement officials told The Associated Press.

The threat of liquid explosives led to a ban on carrying nearly any kind of fluid aboard an aircraft. Mothers tasted baby bottles in front of airport security guards to prove it contained milk or formula — not a component of an explosive.

(FYI, all the Chinese airlines I’ve ever boarded forbid the bringing of any liquid into the passenger cabin. They were perhaps on to the right idea — maybe the fumes from dried fish and liquids don’t mix?)
