Airport security under threat

Since the hand luggage problems started, we all know that if you want to take any liquid, such as water, aftershave, toothpaste and liquid soap onto the plane with you, there is a requirement to get the goods if bought at the airport to be sealed in clear plastic bag at the store.

However there is a slight flaw in this method of security, yes it is a sealed clear bag, and the product is going to be only washing products of drink, so how can there be any flaws in this method of security? Well what if the bad guys placed explosive into containers such a soap etc?

All the bomber would have to do is take their version of the container into the store and up to the counter, pay for it in the normal way and the store will then conveniently seal it into a clear plastic bag for them and then it is just a matter of getting onto the plane.

It couldn’t be that easy, could it?
