I've never had a drink or liquid container checked at the airport, how did these security officials know to check the containers?

Intelligence suggested that there were plans to mix liquids (presumably in the toilets) to produce explosives which could be detonated with detonators hidden in electrical devices. Examples of common liquids which could be part of explosive cocktails were said to acetone and peroxide. There was fear that these could be disguised as almost any drink or other liquid.

they had information gained during the investigation, and the history of another guy who was going to use a contact lens cleaner bottle. They will be screening liquids more carefully from now on.
