7-21-96. Sunday WaPo: "Liquid Explosives, Miniature Timers May Foil Airline Security Measures." 1994 spelled the beginning of what some experts fear might be a resurgence of hi-tech terrorism, this time involving persons with more advanced bomb-making skills who know how to defeat even the best airport security devices. The new terrorists favor smaller and much less detectable plastic or liquid explosives detonated by miniaturized and benign looking timers. At the heart of such devices is a timer built by rewiring a commonly available Casio digital watch, which is connected to a stabilized form of liquid nitroglycerin stored in a bottle ostensibly filled with contact lens solution. The stabilizer for the nitroglycerin looks like unsuspicious cotton. Even newer screening devices that can see through clothes would have difficulty ferreting out such a substance, according to airplane security experts. ----- http://jya.com/timers.txt TIM_ers
