I'm ready to throw down when I fly if somebody tries that crap near me. I'll be using some of the Bas Rattan moves from your video!<br /><br />DB- Petn is the active ingrediant in blast caps. If donw properly he could easily blew a large hole in the bulkhead. I think the CIA really dropped the ball on this. Instead of human assets, they rely on high tech gadgetry as they have since the Bush era. I think the FBI is a better agency for ferreting these guys out.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614691324815885803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-9387823771198790212009-12-28T08:54:13.710-08:002009-12-28T08:54:13.710-08:00Mr. Z - The jihadi going after the Prince in charg...Mr. Z - The jihadi going after the Prince in charge of security in KSA filled his colon with high explosive. Even a full body cavity search might not have gotten it, although a quart of ex-lax would. We have already witnessed the mentally incompetent, children and those not told about explosives they were carrying used in bombings.<br /><br />Regulations will not stop that.<br /><br />Security will not stop that.<br /><br />Nice words and trying to 'solve the problems of the poor' will not stop affluent and well-off killers from killing.<br /><br />As we do not hear about radical Methodists and Lutherans doing this, that means that there is something at the heart of the societies where such killers come from that is not: colonialism, racism, poverty, or capitalism. The poor in a civilized society do not do these things, nor do the middle class nor affluent. Until the Left stops trying to blame the well off there will be no serious road to finding a way to deal with this at the societal level.<br /><br />I do NOT want another religious war to consume the world... the 30 Years War and Westphalia taught Christians how to NOT do these things, although the lesson took a few decades to catch on. And a 30 Years War death toll via proportion to the modern world is horror beyond belief. Too bad we do not teach the principles of Westphalia any more. We will pay for our ignorance handed to us by lovely school systems that don't want to 'offend anyone' only impugn the religion that brought the understanding of WHY you don't do these things in a civil society.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-52373489405330882032009-12-28T06:18:14.784-08:002009-12-28T06:18:14.784-08:00All arabs are jihadists.

You don't get a full explosion from that, only from those parts that had dried... hence 'firecracker'. If he had followed his instructions properly this would be a lost aircraft.<br /><br />And if you think of the amount and application of even a firecracker's worth of explosives, inventively applied, that, too, is a threat. It is not a joke. Terrorists have proven very effective in getting novelty into their attacks. These restrictions force that novelty and inventiveness thus making screening of passengers a priority. El Al can afford to have fantastic security as it is a National airline with the Shin Bet as its screeners... somehow I can't picture the FBI doing that job well.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-29489928405897431442009-12-26T21:56:42.534-08:002009-12-26T21:56:42.534-08:00Thanks for commenting at my place BZ.

I understand there was a small fire aboard. Any fire aboard an airliner is a big deal - and especially after just thwarting a bomb.<br /><br />The problem is Islam and all who adhere to it. There is no way to resolve "peaceful Muslims." They are peaceful until they have to choose sides, and we should never assume they will choose a free life over jihad, especially once their imam directs them otherwise. It's just the truth. We must face it.<br /><br />BZ, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with family and friends.

I have not read the Koran, but feel no need, no desire to visit that foul rag. Too many have picked it up only to turn to jihad.
