Why liquids?

Extensive research on the subject has shown that large amounts of liquid explosives are needed to cause an explosion. For this reason, passengers may no longer carry large amounts of liquids in their hand luggage. Liquids and gels sold at airports are subject to extra checks, and liquids and gels brought from home may only be brought on board in small quantities and in a transparent plastic bag.
