While the Transportation Security Administration is groping for an answer to air safety, al Qaeda is laughing. This week, the terror group publicly detailed its plans to circumvent the latest government security measures and bleed America to death.
The new edition of al Qaeda's glossy magazine, Inspire, discusses last month's plot to down cargo planes with bombs hidden in printer ink cartridges, and a successful Sept. 3 UPS aircraft bombing in Dubai. These new techniques were born after underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab failed to detonate his explosive on Northwest flight 253 last Christmas. Since then, the terrorists say they "have been experimenting with ways to bring down airplanes. ... We looked into X-ray scanners, full-body scanners, sniffing dogs and other aspects of security."
The magazine includes technical details of how to construct weapons that will avoid X-ray and chemical sniffer detection, enabling other jihadist groups to try them out. An al Qaeda press release stated, "It is our plan to disseminate the idea to the mujahidin worldwide and to expand its deployment onto both civilian aircraft in the West as well as cargo aircraft."
"Operation Hemorrhage" - al Qaeda's name for the ink-cartridge attacks - cost only $4,200, which they claim "will without a doubt cost America and other Western countries billions of dollars in new security measures. That is what we call leverage." The fact that the attacks failed is irrelevant; the underwear bomber didn't detonate his bomb but the Obama administration went off the deep end in response. It is "such a good bargain," al Qaeda explains, "for us to spread fear amongst the enemy and keep him on his toes in exchange of a few months of work and a few thousand bucks."

they keep pushing until the host country tries to kill every last one of them
Can there be any doubt now of the insanity of our Federal Government? It has gone beyond the bounds of reality. Compassionate Communism is just as big of a failure as Stalin Castro and Mao.
No doubt at all, al Qaeda has our government jumping through hoops.
Two descriptive terms I’ve come across today that were new to me:
‘Gate Rape’ and ‘Grope and Change!’
There was a paper sign at my local airport advising me that I couldn't bring a toner cartridge weighing more than 'x' ounces. This was my thought too ... what about a portable radio, an alarm clock, humidifier, small desktop PC, Satellite receiver, Kitchen food processor or a host of other plastic boxes with electronics inside.
It's just like having a room full of 12 yr old children making up the laws and rules as they go along - no, I think 12 yr old children put more thought into it.
A good start would be to send the entire TSA to the US/Mexican border and order 'em to start friskin an futzin with all the "wanna be citizens" that have made it impossible for this citizen to leave this county and even come back from Canada without a passport!!!
A fricken bull moose has more freedom of movement around our borders than I have!!!
The terrorists have won.
Yep, there’s any number of things and they can’t all be checked. The Israeli’s know it and that’s why they profile people.
Maybe the passengers should be able to ask the following:
Are you lesbian, gay, bi or hetero sexual before anyone got to grope them, huh?
They have our government on the run and afraid of their own shadows. If they really wanted to destroy large numbers of us, all they have to do is look at one football stadium. We scan our own people, search their bodies, fine them if they don’t like it, jail them and what do we do with illegals? Nada, nothing. This government is so stupid it is getting sickening.
Very good points! And ‘Are you a member of NAMBLA?’ and ‘Have you ever been convicted of a sex crime?’ These ‘intrusive’ questions are necessary for public safety.
Hm. Time to re-read Sun-Tzu’s “The Art of War.”
Taunt they should. This administration's responses are ludicrous at best.
Taunt they should. This administration's responses are ludicrous at best, and much like something out of Monty Python.
We can't play defense against Muslim terrorists. We have to go to their homes and take them out where they live. There will be no peace in this world until that is done.
Amen to that!
There you go. "It's against my religion to be touched by a homosexual, who is an abomination."
No doubt about it, kill them where they live. If captured, swiftly put them before a military tribunal and then kill them.
