Instead, I'll post on here looking for an answer to the question; how the f@ck does that make any sense?
While scanning our fingerprints at the back hall check point, the aforementioned security guard informed us that we couldn't take our Tim's through. My fellow coffee drinker informed him that he had several water bottles in his bag, but the focus remained on the exposed coffee cup.
If air safety was the real concern, should a search not have been conducted and the offending liquids confiscated?
Is there some grave risk whereby a paper cup exposed to fluorescent lighting creates a threat of explosion? Clearly if the coffee had been concealed in a pocket or a flight bag we would have been deemed safe to proceed.
Thanks for keeping us safe from ourselves.
