Many people don't understand how their toothpaste or perfume could seem dangerous. But when several, UK-based terrorists were caught plotting to blow up at least 10 airliners with ordinary-looking, small-liquid explosives 5 years ago, explosives experts re-evaluated security procedures. They determined that it is unlikely for a terrorist to assemble and ignite an explosion device from several small containers and no matches. Screening technology for checked luggage can detect an assembled bomb, but it's more difficult for checkpoint machines to detect them. Keeping some liquids together in the plastic bag makes the screening process quicker and more efficient.
