It's theater. There are much better and easier ways to commit mass murder than trying to take down a plane. And yet, we don't see waves of airport bombings, train/train station bombings, shopping mall bombings, stadium bombings, theater bombings, etc. Why are planes so special that we have to endure inconveniences and privacy violations in order to secure them, when we seem not to care about all these other things?
The fact that someone tried (and yet failed!) to detonate a liquid explosive on a plane is not an excuse to ban water. Water! A basic requirement for life! It's absurd.
