#1 I think that if you were smart enough, it would be pretty easy to smuggle even military grade explosives on an airliner using stuff that you could buy at Target. Any commercial battery would do. The hard part would be making a blasting cap that didn't look like a blasting cap. I could think of half a dozen ways to do that, too.

Luckily, most of these shaheed wannabees aren't smart enough to figure any of this out.

#3 Simple response: No cary on luggage. Period.

#4 No carry on luggage over the long haul will cut into business traveler revenues which cuts into airline viability meaning fewer flights from fewer airlines at higher costs to everyone.
The carry on policy needs to be to be reorganized no doubt, but it needs to be thought out as well.

#6 MATTHEW L. WALD and ERIC LIPTON are typically ignorant MSM reporters.

The bombers weren't planning to carry "liquid exploxives" onto the planes.

'Nuff said.

#5 kelly, maintain your P.O.E or O.P.E or whichever it is. Colonel Mandrake will be along shortly to assist you.

#9 The MSM has long reported on how Commies/Maoists are supporting Radical Islam and akigned terror orgs - iff the Radical Islamists recognize or are aware of the Left's 2015-2020 timeline to force America under anti-Amer Socialism + anti-sovereign OWG. IMO the destruction of 6-20 airliners over America, while graphic and deadly, is not enuff. IMO the agenda of the Radical Islamists + Failed/Angry Left is better accomplished by using these airliners to spread BIO-WAR or CHEM-WAR AGENTS. Also bear in mind that it is not unkknown for the leadership in many Islamist terror orgs to mislead their own suicidists as to time and place of death by detonation.
