I have heard here in Australia, that baby formula and milk is allowed,
provided the carer or parent drinks a portion in [front] of the security
personnel. Not sure how true it is though.

This very effectively prevents terrorist A from carrying on board deadly
poisonous (but slow acting) and highly explosive component A and terrorist B
from doing the same with similar component B. After all, who would drink a
deadly poison?

I presume this is in jest, though I suspect not all readers here would
figure it out. Even if the poison were fast acting, it is quite easy to
design a bottle that dispenses one thing while showing another.

For years I carried a luggable computer. I didn't have a laptop, but
they were not uncommon. They wanted me to turn it on. It took five
minutes to boot up; once they saw the C prompt they were happy. I could
have carried a bomb =and= a laptop inside the luggable, it would have
booted fine from the laptop, and the bomb would have been quite effective.

I suppose nowadays I'd have to program the laptop to go off in the cargo
hold. I'd need some long-lasting batteries - now who makes them for
laptops?
