Yes, which explains why Romney is being extra thorough by activating the NG. Seems like an overreaction to me, and nothing that would actually dissuade someone with a deathwish from detonatiing his bomb AT the security checkpoint (let's just say a big enough explosion could kill hundreds clumped together waiting to go through security). I don't know how liquid explosives are detonated, so the point might be moot. At any rate, I wouldn't want to be sitting around the ticket counters at Heathrow right now (unless security is checking people at the door) if anyone who was not captured wants to use it before losing it...
The funniest thing was that Greg Jarrett had just talked to Romeny and Romney didn't say anything to him about it, and Jarrett was dumfounded. LOL!
I would assume Boston has a large number of incoming overseas flights.
As usual, I see we have our "overreaction" group. This is part of the reason we will never be as safe as is possible.
