its for security reasons. because a chemical agent called sarin
is also a transparent liquid.
its easy to obtain, if you know where to look, and one can easily
smuggle in a bottle.
just a teaspoon, can poison everyone in a room within
minutes.
it affects the nervous system. you'll choke, lose your body control
etc and then die.
imagine if someone bring in a bottle of it into the NDP with all
the VIPs?
even in airport, its not allowed to take in bottled water or any
liquid soap etc, into the plane.
