I guess he showed them.
Must have been Russian. Vodka is like water to them.
Methinks the problem here is the stupid rules, more than the stupid man… mind you sculling a litre of alcohol is pretty stoopid.
In Australia we have a carry-on limit of 100ml of liquid per container… Which isn’t enough to bother drinking, or feed a baby, but surely still enough to carry some cool explosives or binary agents.
All part of stupid over-reactive regulating with little thought and much bravado.
#3 – No, if he was Russian he probably could have handled it instead of ending up in the Hospital. =)
something’s fishy here: I don’t understand why he’d be in nurenberg from Egypt; there are no direct flights. All direct flights probably go through Frankfurt, and possibly munich, but not nurenberg for god’s sake. And if he flew into frankfurt or munich from Egypt, he’d have plenty of direct flights to Dresden.
It just doesn’t make total sense…
I would have been running through the airport squirting puke between my fingers.
Shots of vokda are appropriatefor most TSA “security” queues.
I chugged a quart of vodka when i was 17.. a liter is less than that. This guy obviously cannot hold his liqour or he weighs less than 150 lbs
I wouldn’t try this now though. 😛

Would you like to try that again? A litre is more than a quart although not by much.
See what greed gets ya? He should have stopped half way 🙂
And yes, he was the PILOT!
My first alcohol experience was vodka chugged down like a quart of it, people were cheering and I couldn’t find my self later.
Hey! Why the bottle change from Absolut to some bargain brand rotgut? Someone at Absolut threaten a lawsuit? Just curious.
#8, #9
You’re both wrong. Er, you’re both right. A litre is slightly more than a US quart, and slightly less than an Imperial quart.
A standard bottle of booze, at least here in Canada, is 750 ml, which I believe is more or less equivalent to a twenty-sixer.
The victim here drank a whole litre.
I confess that I did the same thing this year, in the same situation, except: 1. I was travelling with a companion who shared my “pain”; 2. The bottle was not larger, but smaller than the standard size; 3. The contents was less boozy than Vodka; 4. Since the bottle was in a bag, I didn’t have to chug it. The line took about half an hour to clear.
Still, at 7 in the morning it was a bit of a shock to the system. It would have been much more satisfying to have been allowed to bring the bottle to the destination, but as a consolation prize, all the #!&*$ security people got was an empty bottle.
Sooo.. aboot 32.5oz
if a 26 is 750mil
the result is clear..
The man was confronted with a stupid security rule and he chose to fight fire with fire…
Effen racist bastard. He could have shared with his fellow passengers, but NOOOoooo.
