pondering...
Wonder how many pages they get out of refilled toner cartridges...
Probably would clear the paper jams...
A breach of DGR's... someone gonna get it for the paperwork? I mean, carrying 1.1's on a pax plane.... no Class 1 label... no CAO label, no NOTOC... what is the point of those months of accumulated study on ICAO Annex 18, Doc 9284 TI's and IATA's DGR if de-gruntled people just up and disregard the rules. Next someone will say the JAA exams are not grounded in reality. And it is probably a telecoms breach to mess with the phone, forget abut voiding the warranty.... of course the phone probably was registered for warranty though... (remember the guys getting their deposit back from the rental truck... WTC round 1?).
Of course next time someone turns on their cell phone on board a plane and happens to be profusely sweating, there is gonna be a riot, just like Mr Reid's defective shoes..... Probably just cured the RFI problem. Thanks.
Just as well that the mex'cans don't include wire with their white powder imports to the US of A, would put the drug trade in a poor light. Just as well the DEA has such a great handle on the trade.
Would anyone answer if they tried a reverse call?
With intel this good, perhaps the cavity search of pilots etc is just for fun after all.
Could be a new cargo opportunity placing underfloor freight on hajj flights, would reduce the risk considerably. A growth opportunity for Saudia and Qatar, Etihad, and Emirates?
Assuming the AQ reads these pages or watches CNNN & BBBC, guess the next address will be to a Mosque near the WTC site just to throw the sleuths off the scent....
Security was, is and will always be about having a program that sequences through it's operational cycle faster than the other guy.... (+ luck). The defences of the western world are hampered (well... a bit... not as much as before the "Patriot Act"...) by the very differences to the world of the device forwarders. Do the bad guys win when the rest of the world becomes as ruthless and backward as them and their benefactors, the Taliban? Odd deliverable...
3rd rock, what a place.
Just gets better and better

PS: Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri the ostensible bomb maker, is of course the one who provided the oompf for his brothers rapid ascension to the promised land, courtesy of a bottom load of PETN. Brotherly love. When he is apprehended, suggest the feds don't shake his hand, you know where it has been...
PPS: al-Asiri, thanks for the cavity checks....
