Northwest Flight 253 "Underwear Bomb"
Heinrich
all that remains of al Qaeda's attempt to down an American airliner.
The "alleged" (according to ABC news) bomb contained 80 grams of PETN, a
highly explosive chemical. A government test using 50 grams - the amount of
PETN carried by shoe bomber Richard Reid - blew a 4-foot (1.25 meter) hole
in the side of a test airliner. The bomb hidden in Umar Farouk
Abdulmutallab's underwear was one and a half times more powerful.
The bomb was to be detonated by acid in a syringe, which thankfully, did not
make proper contact with the explosive. Instead, the acid melted the plastic
syringe it was held in and triggered a fire, leaving Umar Farouk with severe
burns (some reports claim 3rd degree burns) to his groin.

i heard something today from a member of congress who said it would be
better to check people on their race and religion insteadof making allpeople
suffer from those tough security measures

Indeed! Good one! And not to mention 'shaking of the head and rattling
of the brain' as Jerry Lee Lewis banged it out on the piano in his 1957
[has it been 'that' long ago!] tune!
The 'latest' on the matter is that the Dutch will begin using "new
software" full body scanners at Schiphol airport in "every case" [** now
mandated for passengers flying to the USA 'regardless' of so-called
'privacy issues'] but, the usual caveat and I honestly can't blame Dutch
Interior Minister Guusje Ter Horst for being upfront about it, as she
says, but at least honestly so, "Our view now is that the millimeter
wave scanners would certainly have helped detect that he [** Umar
Farouck Abdulmutallab] had something on his body, but you can never give
100% guarantees."
True enough! I mean, how far do you go, full strip and body crevice
searches a la the 'joints' and 'gaols' ? It's a tough nut [!] to crack
because it's well know that putting stuff, well, you-know-where [!], is
rather common enough for drugs, et al, so, back to square 1, how far can
it go unless the machines become so sophisticated that even a body
'internal crevice' check can be done as the passenger walks through the
thing. The cost of such devices would be right up there, to be sure, ,
sort of a cross between X-rays and MRI imaging but it just might be the
only way to go to bring the percentages of bagging these whackos to as
near 100% as possible and short of routine body and body crevice strip
searches!
But desperate [read: ideological fanatics] types do desperate things so
to counter that, sometimes seemingly desperate measures have to be taken
in response although I believe the more practical answer lies in more
sophisticated machines which, although costly, can spot something so
that the passenger can be immediately isolated for further 'testing' of
whatever nature deemed appropriate. One noticeable 'deterrent' getting
some press, at least at various airports in the USA, are the use of free
roving but well tagged and monitored specially trained "dogs" and their
'sniffing' ability 'specifically' for explosives, plastic variety
inclusive, and residue therein. The courts like it because the dogs
[where the passenger has been further searched DUE to the dog's sit
reaction when the dog detects something] have yet to be 'accused' of
"racial profiling" or "selective targeting" ! If it sniffs a 'hit', it
sits and the authorities take over based on "probable cause", viz., the,
if you will, non biased 'dog' reaction! Dogs already and routinely are
used by various authorities to sniff out incoming baggage especially for
drugs and weapons [the grease], et al. And now, explosives or explosive
residue, powder or plastic therein.
Alas, it's the world we 'all' now live in! Mixed bag ideologies
notwithstanding. Or assorted whackos therein for any number of 'frig the
world' reasons, ideological or otherwise.

First, the classic philosophical response, to wit, why not? Second, in
order to lure folks like 'you' to read it! And, as you duly demonstrate
above, you did! Hence, where is the problem?
The only question now is how much of it you understood but then,
Heinrich, it's no secret to virtually anyone that you can use as much
practice as you can get! And that includes the Dutch language! Fess up,
Heinrich, there are those who have suggested that you're what the Irish
brethren would jocularly term "a victim of the thirst" and I'm inclined
to readily agree after seeing your public wares. Ponder that one and get
back to me.

Retro! One of my favorites! The names vary but it's still fun while
those with working neurons should recognize the flick forthwith:
Heinrich [angry now ... especially when he looks up that a "victim of
the thirst" refers to a chronic drinker, AKA, a lush!] : "Ahhh, I'm
gonna' have it out with Doc Tony! Besides, he's just another
anti-revisionist poster!"
Benji:s Doppelganger: "No he AIN'T just another anti-revisionist poster!
This guy ... is a wrecking machine! He'll knock ya' into
tomorrrrrrowwwwwwww, 'Heine' !"
[great flick, that one!]
;-)
[and still further ...]
Goyko Mitich : "Off-hand, I'd sayyyyyyy .... Gladiator? [2000]?"
[CAMEO!]
Mr. T. : "Hey fool!"
Goyko: "Are you speaking to me?"
Mr. T. "Yeah, I'm speaking to you! [pause] Try Rocky III [1982] !"
Goyko: [gets carried away with himself!]: "I'll try what I like, thank
you! [starts, with fists duly presented, 'dancing' around Mr. T. and
begins to actually 'taunt' the guy]: "Hahahahaha! Not so badddddd! Not
so baddddddd! Eye of the tiger, man! Hahahaha! Eye of the ..
<<B A N G !>>
As Goyko takes a shot to the jaw so powerful that he's knocked out cold!
Heinrich [musing to himself ...]: "Huh? I don't get it. But then, "sorry
to inform you that I do not read books anymore and I do not watch watch
much TV or films either as I am fully concentrated on the internet."
