I read throught the first 4 or 5 pages but couldnit see anything on this.

I am old enough to remember, following, I believe, the downing of an AI 747 off Ireland, that the powers that be banned all electricals from aircraft holds, because of the risk of an explosive device, triggered by electronics, being placed on board, and detonated electronically.

Surely now, "Bin-Bombing" and his disciples will simply try the old trick of killing inocents without the requirement of losing a foot-soldier?

Has HMG, MI5 and the rest shot themselves in the foot on this one?
