#1 Nuts. Forgot to credit Prof. Reynolds with the pointer. Again.

#2  "highly cultured" could mean they can read.

#3 No, "highly cultured" in that context means they have the Koran memorized. Being able to read might mean they get exposed to corrupting ideas, like slavery being bad or women being completely human.

#5 Another source said they would be hiding the bombs in a more intimate place, but we won’t go there...

Sure we will. One of the supposed hijackers was going to hide 8 to 12 ounces of plastic explosive in her vagina. When the plane was over DC she was going to use the restroom, pull it out and detonate it, bringing the plane down.

Though why she would use the restroom is beyond me -- too embarrassed to let anyone she her bottom, but not so embarrassed as to blow the plane?

#6 It makes sense, Steve. Had the shoe bomber tried his thing in the restroom nobody would have noticed in time.

As for the rest... We have to take off our shoes already before boarding a plane!
