It was a different kind of terror plot, as devious as it was dangerous.
The terrorists wouldn't board with bombs. They would board with seemingly harmless household ingredients that wouldn't make a security agent blink.
These explosive fluids could pass for hair gel, fit in a tube of toothpaste, and detonate with the flash of a disposable camera.
The potential weapons would be assembled onboard and ignited in an attempt to kill hundreds in one strike.
In this case, the specific plan was to conceal a liquid bomb ingredient — acetone peroxide, also called the "Mother of Satan."
It would be dyed the color of the beverage at the bottom of a drink container.
This peroxide-based explosive is the same substance reportedly used by London subway bombers just over one year ago.
The top of the bottle would contain the original beverage, allowing terrorists to even drink from the bottle if questioned by security.
A co-conspirator on the same flight, another terrorist, would bring the detonator — in this case the filament found in a disposable camera's bulb.
The 24 terror suspects, now in British custody, allegedly planned to set off explosives on up to 10 cross-Atlantic flights, tearing them to pieces midair.
A Threat the Government Could See Coming
This kind of plot may sound new to most of us, but it's a threat government agencies have known about for years.

And lots and lots of explosives.
As a new mother (7 month old girl) this just makes my stomach clench and heart hurt. Who could be so sick as to use a baby to murder innocents? How can anyone side with these people? How can any sane human being not want them wiped off the face of this earth?!?
They did give us coffee. Thanks to them for that.
Full circle back to the old anarchist bombs. They used nitro. This is not all that different in terms of the mechanism.
Muslims, Thugees, Viet Cong .... there are some seriously evil people on the planet.
How can anyone side with these people?
Money and power is what makes people associate and support them.
...and took away alcohol, so that one's even.
Could it be that Satan and Allah are one and the same?
Somehow I don't believe that the DUmmies are rich and powerful, but they side with the terrorists. It's all evil America's fault, dontcha know???
TATP ping.
Depressed college kids, no doubt.
I agree with you. Its just that the PC culture blames us for their behavior
Oops, you're absolutely right ... there should be a useful idiot class in there too.
Democrat leaders = elitists that promote symapthy for these people while hoping to gain money and power by winning elections.
Democrats (line voters) : Idiots that have been brainwashed with PC and DNC talking points.
Other useful idiots : brainwashed by PC and refuse to see (from stupidity or cowardice) the danger these people represent.
anti-semites : people that just don't like jews and have very questionable contact with morality.
Foreign leaders : same thing as democrat leaders.
It is now public who the Muslims and Islamofacists worship : The enemy.
Better to be on the offensive than have to fight on the defensive.
Satan and allah one and the same.
Like Norman Oklahoma a couple of years ago, outside the OU football stadium, for example.
Pretty sure coffee predates that 7th Century pedophile. The use of the bean to make a beverage seems to date from about the same time as old Mo, but it was consumed in other ways prior to that time.
The plant is native to Ethiopia, not Yemen as was first supposed.
