Airline Terrorist Plot — A Mere Days Away

A dry run planned in two days, with the major attack only days after — As Maxwell Smart would have said, “Missed it by THAT much!” From Breitbart:
The terrorist attack foiled by British authorities on Thursday was aimed at blowing up as many as 10 airplanes on trans-Atlantic flights, and plotters hoped to stage a dry run within two days, according to U.S. intelligence officials.
The actual attack would have followed within days.
ABC’s The Blotter writes that these guys thought they had airport security scenarios worked out, and could get the explosive past the examiners.
The suspected terror plotters arrested in Britain had planned to conceal their liquid or gel explosives inside a modified sports beverage drink container and trigger the device with the flash from a disposable camera.
ABC News has learned exclusively that the plotters planned to leave the top of the bottle sealed and filled with the original beverage but add a false bottom, filled with a liquid or gel explosive. The terrorists planned to dye the explosive mixture red to match the sports drink sealed in the top half of the container.
This, they thought, would ensure that they would be able to pass through security — even if they were asked to unseal and drink the beverage.
That would have done for Gatorade what the arsenic killer did for Tylenol! (db)
