    Never fails to amuse me that in order to fight to “threat” of binary explosives i.e. two liquids that explode when mixed together…

      Not a big enough target for terrorists.
      Imagine having planned the next 9/11 but then instead you have to just blow up part of an airport instead 😒

        IDK Boeing is doing a good enough job in the air, maybe it’s time to move on to ground based targets.

        TSA would just set up a checkpoint-checkpoint and add a few hours to our departures… yeah, I think this is going to work for everyone!

    Oh darn guess I’ll have to pour my separate bottles of bleach and ammonia in there since they’re not allowed past security checkpoint.

      Thinking the same thing. Oh shoot! I need to pour my bromine out! Proceeds to dump 1 gallon of fuming bromine into liquid receptacle.

    When the terrorists empty their liquid explosives into there, you’ll get to smell like piss while the flesh burns off of your bones.

    I’m imagining them having to change out the bag or… I guess bag-less bin…?

    Unless this goes into a drain which is… equally super weird, actually, because it isn’t sink-shaped or anything… so now I’m imagining this super tall trash can with like a weak little drain at the bottom full of straws and bottle caps and stuff.

      I am actually a janitor at an airport and these have little hoses on the back that we just put into the drain in the janitor closet. They smell like rotten eggs and midew at the same time and are the single most disgusting thing I have ever had to clean.

      Most of them have either a grate on top to prevent trash getting in or a separate chamber on the inside that filters out solids.
