The Liquid Bomb Plot was a terrorist plot that was foiled by British authorities in August 2006. The plot involved a group of terrorists who were planning to detonate liquid bombs on multiple airplanes traveling from the United Kingdom to the United States and Canada. The terrorists had planned to mix chemicals together to create an explosive liquid, which they would then smuggle onto the planes using liquid containers such as water bottles or soda cans. The plot was discovered by British intelligence agencies, who were able to arrest the terrorists before they could carry out their attack. The Liquid Bomb Plot was a major wake-up call for aviation security, and it led to the implementation of new security measures at airports around the world, including restrictions on liquids and gels in carry-on luggage.
