Booze ban coming to airports, flights?
Lanvin, Forbidden Passion out, too?

Some have been wondering what security demand police state officals will make that might prove to be the straw that finally breaks the camel's back with the long-suffering, but so far compliant public.

This proposed screw-tightening move could well be it.
The most contentious measure that Rainer Wendt -- head of the German Police Union (DPolG), which represents around 80,000 workers -- has suggested is a ban on the sale of what he describes as "potentially dangerous" goods like perfume and alcohol in duty free shops at European airports.

In an interview with the regional daily Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung published on Thursday, Wendt said: "Once the potential perpetrators have gone past the security checks they can get everything they need to build a bomb in duty free shops and restaurants." For this reason, Wendt added that, "as quickly as possible, there should be an EU wide sales ban on potentially dangerous materials."

"The security of citizens must come before business interests," Wendt concluded.
