I've also responded numerous times to the well-known terrorist tactic of using unsuspecting or otherwise compliant persons to ferry their weapons onto aircraft.

Interesting!

Do you have personal knowledge of terrorists who have recently used American citizens to ferry weapons onto US aircraft in the last three years?

If so, Freepers would love to hear the details...

"Do you have personal knowledge of terrorists who have recently used American citizens to ferry weapons onto US aircraft in the last three years?"

Nothing like trying the old 'strawman' tactic.

I'm sure you're well aware that a terrorist did use his unsuspecting girl friend to smuggle a bomb on board an aircraft. I'm equally sure that you're aware that an American citizen used her status as a legal represenatative to smuggle messages from an imprisoned terrorist to his terrorist cell.

But, no, I'm not aware of any specific act as you described.

Does that make you feel more secure that a terrorist would not or could not resort to such tactics in light of the specific examples I did cite? I guess the fact that no middle easter muslim male used a box cutter to hijack an aircraft in the three years prior to 9/11 proved that such an act was either unlikely or impossible?
