Here's an article on Duty Free stores that was in yesterday's Chronicle.

I'm amused by the instances of requiring people that do bring liquids on to taste them first.

As a recent piece at Slate said few of the potential chemicals for such bombs are immediately fatal and it is hard to believe that such a terrorist would have a problem taking a couple sips of slow-acting poisons. They are, after all, planning to die within the next few hours anyway.

Good point. Though I wonder if the security folks are watching to see people's reactions to the taste. I would assume the chemicals are quite unpleasant and would likely induce a grimace upon consumption.
