I have read more and it seems this lady did try last year. It's mentally disturbed person. I went to check in youtube for the vid and couldn't find any from the front line. Can't see the Pope on the floor

I say take away Disneyland. Hong Kong already has one, and I heard that there is a chance that 2 will be built in China. Too many Disney resorts out there.

Passenger ignites explosive device on plane.
Kudos to the passenger and cabin crew who pounced on this doucebag.

Terrorist attack FOILED aboard Delta Airlines Flight 253!
Update: A high-ranking law enforcement official told CBS News that the suspect apparently used a syringe to inject a chemical into the powder, which was located near his groin. It is a technique not seen in previous attempted attacks and it's possible that this incident was a test of whether the materials could pass screening and how effective they might be at causing damage, the source said. According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, PETN is a highly explosive, colorless organic compound, and is related to nitroglycerin. Introduced as an explosive after World War I, PETN is "valued for its shattering force and efficiency ... and is the least stable of the common military explosives but retains its properties in storage for longer periods than nitroglycerin or cellulose nitrate (nitrocellulose) does."

Los Angeles Times details Toyota history of concealing safety issues
The unintended acceleration issue has reached critical mass for Toyota... but is it an isolated incident for an automaker with an otherwise stellar record for being frank with its customers? A recent investigation by the Los Angeles Times shows that Toyota may have concealed safety issues on several occasions in an effort to keep its name clean. The newspaper is reporting that it uncovered several incidents in which Toyota concealed defects or delayed recalls even after several complaints were made. |

1. Canada started to do full-body patdowns temporarily. It's too early to say if this will continue or be carried over elsewhere perhaps. I'm also not sure if this will actually catch those binary explosives if the individual chemical components are well hidden. 2. TSA now has a rule (check the bottom of the statement) that in the last hour of a flight, passengers cannot get up, access carry-on luggage or have any personal stuff on their laps. No idea if this means no personal electronics use either, but I would guess that they would be limited as well.

The pat-downs make some minor sense (though some have joked "first it was shoes off; now its pants off"). The second "sit down rule" is just bloody stupid and irrelevant - more security theatre. No potty breaks, eh? No more book reading? What about those damned magazines?
