    Not to get full-on conspiracy here but you’re assuming airport security is for your (passengers) safety. The event that led to strict airport security was that planes were used to attack corporations (World Trade Center) and the government. Trains can’t get hijacked and driven into the Pentagon so no one cares. But I admit this is a bleak view.

      Once a fella brought in a few bottles of flammable liquid and now every passenger in Europe must undergo a cavity search if their shampoo bottle is 50ml over the limit.
