A man is questioned by a security officer at Pearson International Airport as he places his items on a conveyor belt to be scanned. Security officer: Do you have any liquids, gels, or solids?

While we're on the subject of TTC maps (as we often are), we might as well include the most wildly ambitious one of all. Reader Ryan Felix sent us his subway map, which he describes as a "fantasy map of the TTC" in 2050.

After a day wherein people arriving at Pearson International Airport had to throw away their bottled water and coffee before being allowed on their flights because of an alleged British-born bomb plot, this incredibly crucial update was released just before midnight, and flashed on Pulse24's screen throughout the day: Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Will Smith's preppy cousin Carlton on TV's 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' is splitting from his wife of four years.
