"Do not bet your life, or mine, on this assumption. Pressure changes, temperature changes, and rates of absorption can and are used for mixing reactive agents."

My way of dealing with this and other possible ways of attacks on planes, is to not fly. Used to when I was young; am avoiding it like the bubonic plague now that I am older and circumstances have changed. I'd rather take a hot air balloon before attempting the total hassle of airplane flight nowadays.

Hey, if only one tenth of one percent (0.01%) of worldwide islam believes in jihad that equals @ 1,300,000 suicide bombers.

I think about that often. And, there are probably at least another 10% who sympathize with them, and would be willing to facilitate their agenda.

I don't know.
Who is going to take an inbred doofus who uses the word "terra" instead of "terror" seriously?

[daybreakcoming]

I don't think we have rounded up any.

True. The last Egyptian caught raised such a ruckus at the ticket counter - you would almost think it was meant as a distraction. I just have special reason for specifying France with a close family member flying out of there next week and would like to see them clean out a nest or two there. But they probably have so many, they don't know where to start.....all those "youths", ya know.

How many groups of the cell phone purchasers have they found? About six? Ohio(maybe 2 groups), W. Virginia, Caro, MI (where we have family & two of them work at the Wal-Mart), there are more. This is NOT a good thing.

FIND those missing egyptian "students" ASAP.

Haven't the arrested most of them?

[fivecatsandadog]

I'm wondering when the next OBL or AZ video will be out. Being that their "big one" got busted, it will be interesting to hear their response. A chorus of "oops"?

[ARealMothersSonForever]

I fly a lot, due to my chosen career. Driving an automobile is statistically MUCH more dangerous. We must profile airline passengers. And we must humiliate, deride, and castigate islamic fascists until they become global societal outcasts. If this takes too long, we have to kill them. It really is that simple.

Well, there is zero doubt in my mind that the "airline plot" was advanced to distract from the events in Lebanon/Syria.

I think Lebanon/Syria was just the opening shot.

As a new mother, home from the hospital a couple of days, I struggled with nursing. I tried many times to contact the hospitals lactation consultants, but they never returned my calls. After 2 days of my baby screaming when I tried to nurse, screaming from hunger, etc. and me crying my eyes out at her crying, I decided that best thing I could do for her was pump and feed her from a bottle.

I experienced the same thing with my firstborn. It was horrible, and I felt totally rejected by him at first, decided to try pumping, then had a problem with expressing my milk. I ended up giving him ready-to-serve bottles of formula that I had from signing up for freebies. He lapped them up. I was devastated, yet relieved.

Bless you for doing what you think is best for your precious baby. Surely you will be able to have an insulated cooler? My brother is a diabetic, and he carries his insulin in a soft-sided insulated cooler. He will be flying on Sunday.

And we must humiliate, deride, and castigate islamic fascists until they become global societal outcasts.

OMG!! CAIR is not going to like you. /sarc

Either we do as your post suggests or those children we see in the newscasts will be doing the same to our own children and I just will not stand down on that.

Dead would be good.

The odd thing about all this (from my point of view only) is that in the last two weeks, I finally rented the final parts of the Showtime show "Sleeper Cell". I got to watch the first two episodes when Showtime was free for a week, but hadn't seen the conclusion. There was a special at Blockbuster and I saw the DVDs, so what they hey . . .

I hope there's a Darwin for every Farik out there.

[fivecatsandadog]

I thought the same thing. Detonated over highly populated areas, all across the country, simultaneously or minutes apart - creating total hell and chaos.

[elc]

I've thought about the insulated cooler. And if worse comes to worse, that is what we will do.

But there are also limits on how cold that will keep the milk and how long the milk will stay good at that temperature. My biggest fear is that milk that I'm traveling with will go bad and my daughter will be screaming in hunger as I try to pump to keep up with her demand. But heck, I have that fear when I have a refrigerator handy!

6 found, 5 still missing.

Thanks my friend.

"Can you imagine a plot like this being stopped if Jean Francoise Kerry was the POTUS?"

What this guy?...

Stop terror? I think not. We'd be better off with one of the other rats, like the guy who invented anti-terror...

Or this guy who is competent to steal an anti-terrorist's speech...

How much money do universities make from middle eastern students?

A boat load I'm sure. Back in the 70's we had Iranian students at our little college. Most didn't speak English, or pretended not to. None were the least bit happy to be here but I didn't understand at the time why. The profs were told to pass them which screwed the curve for the rest of us. Could be some of these became citizens and now their off spring are some of these homegrown terrorists we're seeing popping up.
