[QUOTE="Servant of Jesus, post: 53825998"] The scary thing about this attack is that the powerful explosive used, PETN, cannot be easily detected using current security checks. This being the case, it seems to me to be only a matter of time before someone successfully smuggles this explosive on-board and detonates it. So what can be done to counter this threat? 1. passengers need to become more involved as additional eyes and ears in helping to identify potential terrorists or acts of terrorism, and reporting them. If you see someone nervously fiddling with a suspicious package at an airport, for example- report them! If you're on a plane, be aware of how the person beside you is acting- and report anyone acting suspiciously; for example, if someone is obviously well, and then disappears into a lavatory for a half hour, they should be watched more carefully and asked to explain their actions. 2. more profiling based on race and religion needs to occur. 3. window seats, where a bomb would likely do the most damage, should be reserved for passengers with impeccable security clearance. 4. better chemical tests to detect chemicals like nitrates need to be developed. 5. more of the modern body scanners need to be installed at airports. and finally, don't forget to [B]pray[/B] for safety before you board a plane; ask God to be there to keep you safe.
