A decently humorous (a smile creaked on our craggy face) SNL skit underlining the absurdity of the TSA's anti-liquid rules.Considering the cost of implementing the asinine program, and the unlikeliness of it being used in an attack, isn't there anyway to roll it back?

One rumor says you might be able to concoct a chemistry set in the bathroom and blow up the plane, so now there's no liquids. The security risk isn't any particular iteration, it's ingenuity.
