SWARM ATTACKS
"We are still at risk," said security and aviation analyst Chris Yates, noting there is still no widely available system installed at airports to detect explosives in liquid form, although several technologies are in trials.
Nor is there a widely-deployed technology to routinely guard against a bomber with explosives hidden in a body cavity -- a technique al Qaeda used in August in Saudi Arabia.
In that case, a suicide bomber on August 27 blew himself up in the Jeddah office of the kingdom's security chief, Prince Mohammed bin Nayef, a member of the Saudi royal family.
Prince Mohammed was not seriously hurt. But the attack revealed al Qaeda to be as innovative as ever: official Saudi media said the explosives were implanted in the bomber's body.
Alriyadh newspaper said they were hidden in his anal cavity. Scott Stewart of intelligence company Stratfor said such a technique would likely have "a catastrophic result if employed on an aircraft, especially if it were removed from the bomber's body and placed in a strategic location on board the aircraft."

The battle against these people is going to get uglier and uglier...
 
It's simple - if you are traveling on a passport of a predominately Muslim nation, Saudi, Nigeria, Iran, et al, you cant be boarded on an airliner of a US air carrier, OR, you by default, are subjected to the most invasive security measures that would make Israel blush...

Problem solved, civil liberties be damned...
 
Enemas and ipecac for all pax not wearing 10-gallon hats, sh$t kickers, and sportin' six-shooters on each hip. Oh, wait, I was re-living the "don't let our guard down" article...

Still waiting for the Total Recall style full-body scans that show skeletons and amorphous blobs of intestinally-challenged explosives. SMILE!

Ummm, Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, was a British Citizen born and raised in South London. Try again. I'm thinking cryogenic stasis.
 
I really don't get it. If a person is on any type of watch list of any nature it should automatically put them on the no fly list. Do we really care if someone who may not be a terrorist can get on a flight? give me a break.
 
of course our coward in chief would never want to offend the sensibilities of his liberal base. hell he can't even call a guy who opens fire on an Army base a terrorist.
 
You know these things require an investigation. The "Guy" who openned fired on an Army base was also an employee there or should I say soldier. So the investigation continues to make sure he wasn't disgruntaled worker, a sour lover from a love triangle, or mentally disturbed.

However, with the lastest developments and his possible ties to a extremists cleric the truth of his metal reasons are coming out.

Do you work for Homeland Security because that policy sounds like a nonsensical dribble that they would come up with up, except for the profiling part. According to your logic foreign based airlines that fly into the US (if memory serves me right there are a few...) can fly in with these yahoos on board. Perhaps you need to widen the net to all airlines that fly into the US.

Congress and the White House don't have the resolve.
