Really? What if they all deposited those 3 oz. samples in a compartment in a designated bathroom, where a designated person would assemble the device? On a transatlantic or transpacific flight, there's plenty of time to do all that without arousing suspicion.

Also, c'mon man. The shoe bomber? That dude was asking to get caught. Yeah, it's a deterrent, but I really think it's mostly a deterrent for people already disinclined to kill themselves and others. I maintain that if someone really wants to do something on a commercial aircraft, they will find a way to do it, given sufficient motivation.
