lacquer solutions and airline travel

"Captain, Captain, grab your pistol. The man in seat 4A is pouring shampoo

BTW, did I miss something? Why on earth do you want to smuggle chemicals on
an airplane? Just put the bottle in a little package with an envelope full
of white powder, some sneakers, and a pack of matches. Then mail it
(airmail, of course). Oh, and mark it "fragile," in Arabic.
