Uhh in case someone hasn't pointed this out yet the terrorists supposed plan was to MIX several liquids to create an explosive on board the plane. Each individually would be safe, after all the terrorists wouldn't want to blow up before they made it to their destination. Even if it was already active pouring it out would most likely not detonate it.
Besides requiring people to dump out the liquids means the terrorists WON'T BOTHER even trying. If they can't get it onto the plane why bother. Counterintuitively we are pretty much guaranteed all the liquids they are dumping out are not explosives but if they didn't dump out the safe liquids then someone might be tempted to bring explosives in this manner.
