that well advertised spectre, "liquid explosives"
The funny thing is, the chap who got nicked for that said in his court testimony that yes, he and his mates were trying to kick up a bit of dust at the airport terminal with some home-baked incendiary devices, but that was it. Your friendly government provided all the rest of the entertainment:

From AFP
"We did not want to kill or injure anyone," he told the court Monday.

"Something small enough to cause a large bang, maybe some smoke. Something that would be considered serious and credible, something to generate that mass media attention."

He added: "I never had any intention of murdering anyone or injuring anyone. At no stage did I ever even think of going on an airplane or causing an explosion there."
Why is it that I find it a lot easier to believe this guy than to believe the government? Mind you, I'm old enough to remember when after an IRA bombing the police used to grab any poor Irish-accented bastard and accuse them of all sorts. Got away with that for years, didn't they.
