This is just unbelievable that with such intense security she was able to get through security with lighters and bottled water.

Are candy stores and eating joints that are located on the gate side of the metal detectors still selling bottled water? (Are there to be no sources of water or soda once we are checked through the metal detectors, other than water fountains?) And if they are, are carry-ons being examined again before passengers board a plane?

Fox had a terrorism expert on last Thursday and he was that all the ingredients necessary to blow up a plane could be purchased in airport stores inside the secure area. I am afraid TSA is woefully inept and totally lacking in the necessary vision to handle airport screening like Israel does. It is only a matter of time before tragedy strikes. Given the sorry state of airport security, it is amazing it hasn't happened in the past 5 yrs.

We sure it was water? I was just reading on another thread how some chemicals added to urine can produce a gas. From what I read, it looks like she was tackled in the act.
