this needs no additional comment from me:
BERLIN - A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday.
The incident occurred at the Nuremberg airport on Tuesday, where the 64-year-old man was switching planes on his way home to Dresden from a holiday in Egypt.
New airport rules prohibit passengers from carrying larger quantities of liquid onto planes, and he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.
Instead, he chugged the bottle down — and was quickly unable to stand or otherwise function, police said.
A doctor called to the scene determined he had possibly life-threatening alcohol poisoning, and he was sent to a Nuremberg clinic for treatment.
The man, whose name was not released, is expected to be able to complete his journey home in a few days.

Yeah, screw the man and all that. He does get points for that, but the fee to have it checked as cargo was probably a lot less than the medical bills he incurred while receiving treatment for alcohol poisoning.

Man...I'll have to remember to not pack my large bottle of shampoo next time I fly. I can't imagine that would taste very good...and I'm sure the foaming at the mouth would land me in the hospital as well...
