El Al flight from Paris lands safely in Israel after bomb scare
2008-09-25
An El Al plane flying from Paris to Tel Aviv landed safely on Wednesday after security officials received a warning that al-Qaida may have planted a bomb on board, but this proved to be false, Israeli police said.

#2  But AQ can still play hell just phoning this crap in; do you want to be the guy in the hot seat that decides its another false alarm when /if the plane 'spoleds?

i can only wonder why they haven't invoked this play in the US commercial air system. knowing how porous the TSA (spit) screening system is and the public releases about 'red team' successes for sneaking pretend bombs through, nobody in their right mind would take a chance ignoring that call. the system would be on its knees in hours with a dedicated effort.

#1  Yeah, right. The day AQ can succeed in planting even a kiss on an El Al flight is the day we really have to get worried.
