Brilliant! Could someone make a short montage of all the weapons firing/being detonated? Slow internet and a lack of weapon descriptions make for quite the frustrating evening.

Grab the URLs out of the page and use youtube-dl on a lower quality setting.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start putting severe limits on all non-food shops in the terminals now. There seems to be no end to the ridiculous measures they'll take, no matter the inconvenience to flyers.

I think it comes down to what people are willing to put up with. Personally, I don't mind any of the TSA stuff a single bit. I've stood in line for hours, missed a flight, and gotten home at 1am due to TSA and other security stuff, but I don't mind because it at the very least acts as a deterrent.

However, I think that most of these things could be solved with a second screening. None of these options would pass a secondary x-ray, for instance. Or, a better option would be to have all items purchased in duty free to be shipped as luggage, and retrieved in the destination airport. Those would both be a huge pain in the ass, however, and I doubt anyone would put up with it.

The more ludicrous the TSA gets with its bans, the better. In the long run doing that will only make them look like clowns and make the general public resent them more.

I've been waiting for backlash against absurd restrictions to close the TSA since 2001. Don't hold your breath.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Umm. I'm not the only one wondering where the elemental Lithium came from? Right?

I think it's the heating element in a thermos; "fraguccino" uses the same technique.

Fraguccino gets the lithium from a battery.

The BLUNDERBUSSness Class is by far the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsem22DkIjw TL;DR: AXE body spray is super combustable!

I love how he takes great pains to emphasize that it's "reloadable" and "break action" but when he fires it it just explodes.
