When you don't know much about a topic, probability is higher that your are missing some piece than some entity doing things that make no sense.

I know it's easy to get the impression that's not the case. But when your stop making fun of / belittle such events / persons / decision and be curious instead you start to realize that more often than not you are just missing a piece of information.

The truth oftentimes is just not interesting enough and not clickbait worthy.

You’re right. I am genuinely curious though, so I shouldn’t have been so snarky about it. I’ll try again:

I’ve always been under the impression that large containers of liquids were forbidden because they were potentially dangerous. If that hasn’t changed, and if the new technology is only about being able to better detect the presence of liquids in packed luggage, why have the limits on container size changed?

EDIT: So I see that the article says that it’s about being able to keep the liquids in your bag when going through security. But I thought liquids in large containers were forbidden from going through security entirely unless you had some kind of medical justification for them?
