"Liquid Explosives, Miniature Timers May Foil Airline Security Measures."

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.

"See through cloths", wasn't there an ad in the back of comic books for a pair of sunglasses that did the same thing. And did these same sources mention how a bottle of lens solution with wired up Casio watch attached to it would not be considered conspicuous? If you want to bring down a plane just go to the courier services at the office blocks with a parcel for across the country, us a gps reciever with preset co-ordinates and when the plane gets there, ooopppss. If you want high tech thats the way to go. Wayne H.Allen whallen@capitalnet.com Pgp key at www.capitalnet.com/~whallen
