"Among those arrested were a Muslim charity worker and a Heathrow Airport employee with an all-area access passSo much for airport security.

I dumped Tums for Prilosec (works like a charm), so I am good to go I guess.

Think of a binary explosion as a case of beer and a dozen eggs. No problem sniffing that baby.

Sounds lethal to me, but more to humans than to the metallic structure of the plane.

"That's why you can't take that bottle of Powerade on the plane any more."
Obviously you are not suggesting that Powerade is a chemical formula that cannot be sniffed that we should be worried about -
But - you seem to imply that there are seemingly harmless chemicals in "un-sniffable" formulas that could cause problems - care to elaborate ?

"I had a bad experience at work about seven years ago with peroxide (10%) and H2SO4.
To this day, I'm the only one who knows about it.

Can you imagine if those S.O.B. Islam-o-wacks put that much effort into doing something constructive for mankind?

Coke and Tums are not going to take out a plane ... No, but according to Mythbusters, Diet Coke and Mentos might be able to do so ;-).
Scroll down to Episode 57.

This was the same stuff used in the London bus blasts. It decapitated the buses.
To: NotJustAnotherPrettyFace
Yep - it impresseses the hell out of people who don't realize that a fountain of Coke will not bring down a plane...
But so far that idiot who thought he could light an electrical fuse with a match was the close as we get as far as the amateur terrorists go.

You stated:
"By delivering and encouraging those teachings and hatred to the young and to the gullible mobs, to the poor -- the mullahs, the imans, the ayatollahs commit murder. It is they who provide the motive. We must focus on removing the motive -- it is the only area to which we have given no attention. "
You have hit the proverbial nail on the head. And further I submit that to do nothing about it, is dereliction of duty.
It is time to "ROLL"

How many remember the TERROR IN THE SKIES story that came out in a magazine in July 2004 and later in a book? It was a womens account of a group of Arab looking men on Northwest Airlines flight #327 that gave passenger and crew the fright of their life. Could that have been a dry run?

An undercover British agent infiltrated the group, giving the authorities intelligence on the alleged plan, several U.S. government officials said.
These officials are totally irresponsible, stupid and are damaging the WOT.

Try this mixture: unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) fuel and inhibited red fuming nitric acid (IRFNA) oxidizer. Simply keep separated until needed. Corrosive as all get out, but for a short period of time that really does not matter. You know that is the rocket fuel for large, liquid-fuelled ICBM's, don't you? The old Titan II rocket and a number of Soviet ICBM's (notably the big SS-18) used these two rocket fuels.
However, both UDMH and IRFNA are extremely toxic substances, not only highly explosive but also highly corrosive, too. That's why the USAF phased out the Titan II as part of the START arms reduction treaty, and the Russians are quickly phasing out the SS-18 in favor of solid-fuel ICBM's.
