Federal agency tests drinks purchased inside airport
CP note: Tell me that it is not so! This is absolutely ridiculous and has GOT to stop and people need to start saying “No thanks.” People, if you don’t realize this yet, this is not about safety, this is about conditioning the public to get use to undo searches and seizures. By the way, this airport, in my opinion is one of the worst. I'm wondering if they are testing this in Columbus because it has the demographics of the US in this city. Columbus, Ohio is a test market because it a smaller version of the collective US—if it works in Columbus, Ohio, most likely it'll work in the rest of the US.
A video clip shot yesterday at Columbus Ohio Airport illustrates how the Transportation Security Administration has dreamed up a bizarre new way to waste time and taxpayer dollars – by testing drinks purchased by travelers for explosives inside the airport long after they have already passed security.

The footage shows TSA agents walking around a departure lounge asking to test passengers’ drinks for explosive residue with a swab they hold over the liquid.
“Now remember that this is inside the terminal, well beyond the security check and purchased inside the terminal…just people waiting to get on the plane,” writes the You Tube user who uploaded the video.
