Yes, I saw the original article. The tone did come off as a bit hysterical. But the fact that there was a similar incident on a San Juan-Kennedy flight raises my antenna. And further down, the article describes someone who took the mirror off of the front lavatory to try to get into the cockpit.

The bad guys seem to be probing, that's for sure.

they may be probing, but im doubting very much that these guys are it. they might as well have been carrying signs that say 'TERRORIST' from her description.

no if there are probes happening, then this wasnt one of them.

I don't know how to build a plasics explosive but could there be a way that many could get security with parts and then each person would add their part and make a bomb? I really don't know but I'm not hysterical but I do profile. I would be suspicious of any Middle easterner.
