But almost none of them fly. Or have flush toilets. And the only reason to get on an airplane in Japan is to get to another Island - they have magnificent public transportation. I agree that they should try many different things, but the corporate instinct is severely against trial and error, and tie that in with gov't CYA and you have LCD security, to say the least. Though it does seem to work, which is a strong plus. -TF China has 1.2B people and we have 300M, so they have 4x our population. But almost none of them fly. Or have flush toilets.

I betcha we have 10x the airports and 20x the passengers. Plus, of course, we have a patchwork federal/state/local system of governance which is wonderfully flexible and woefully fractious. -TF Well, how many airports are there in Japan or China?

My guess is it is just weighing the bottle, but it was enough to let me bring bottled water to the gate area. indeed, why can't the U.S. do something similar?? there is so much money being invested by Homeland Security into government and private research. still nothing. in fact, Japan already has something they use in airports to determine if bottled water is OK to carry on.
