0.0001% or less

We've read it everywhere and experienced it in the airports: The new airport carry-on regulation (Liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers and in a one-quart, zip-top bag - otherwise, I don't go through) is affecting all business travelers and tourists:

We're all suspects and, in a way, we need to prove we are 'good' and 'docile' people.

We must leave from home an hour ealier than before as we might get stuck at the check-point and miss our plane.

We undress, put our stuffs into trays, queue, pass the electronic gate, retrieve our stuffs, and get dressed again.

Millions of passengers are affected everyday because of (maybe) 0.0001 percent of the population. Wow, that's powerful. In other words, one person can change the behaviour of millions of people, without even being known.
