Re: Who fights with aircraft security?

Interesting!

Makes me think of the 2010 printer cartridge bomb plot, which was supposedly only foiled because of Saudi intelligence.

There was actually a surprisingly detailed article about it in Inspire Magazine. They basically wanted to boast that they were able to make bombs indistinguishable from printer cartridges on X-ray. This involved using explosives with the same density as the original contents.

It's in the November 2010 issue if someone is interested - I'm not linking it here since people have actually been prosecuted for mere possesssion of that magazine.
