Given some of the news reports about the testing of TSA in the US I
would say you might have a good chance of getting the bomb on the
plane. Now if you want more then 3 oz. of mouthwash you could be in
trouble.

So if you believe in the overall anisotropy of the universe
(neglecting the weak interaction), it is time for some more P6(5)22
examples.
Similarly, you should bring a bomb on your next airplane flight (but
don't detonate it), because the probability that there will be two on
any flight is astronomically low.
Hmm - if it was my data - I would probably go with P6522. While the
probability is higher for P6122, the maximum likelihood is if the data
were mine - it would not go with the majority.
With regards to the bomb on a plane... This is an interesting
service I
can offer... By my taking a bomb on a plane - I can pretty much
guarantee there not be another one there - so all the passengers
benefit. But what is the probability that I will get the bomb on the
plane - without getting caught? If I fail to get it on the plane -
have
I really done anyone a service? (well besides giving the media
something
to report on, the police who get to wave their guns around, etc.).
