Exactly. Trying to wave this around to justify domestic surveillance of the entire US is ridiculous.
I read in the foreign press, btw, that the latest AQ explosive device is clothing that is soaked in an explosive solution and allowed to dry - and then makes its wearer into a walking bomb. I’m not sure how it’s triggered, but it’s apparently undetectable by any method we now use.
I heard the news about the liquid explosives - I don't know if I believe that either.
Its a shame we don't have a competent news media anymore.
Considering Obama just wrote AQ a check for $500 million, their R&D efforts have probably taken a giant leap forward.
