Investigators around the world are in the process of tracking suspects and working to fill in details about the plot to blow up 10 U.S.-bound flights.
We have learned that one of the suspects arrested by British authorities in the airline terror plot has just been released. Scotland Yard has not given any further details on which suspect or why they were let go.
The material is called acetone peroxide - a deadly explosive. It is believed each terrorist would bring ingredients on board, and assemble them while on the plane.
Then someone would use a spark from a disposable camera's flash as the detonator. Law enforcement officials say they are fighting a losing battle as long as the hunt is for a bomb not the bomber.

Random checks lets too many bad guys through.
I was Googling Acetone Peroxide and had a "post comment" window open at the same time, so I didn't see FairOpinion's post up above which was posted while I was Googling.
Thanks, but I am not at all convinced.
Yea, I'm so glad the ACLU is concerned about my freedom to be blown up.
Thermite is easy to make. Just ignite it in the right place, if you know airliners and poof.
"Terror's white convert: Abdul Waheed, 21, changed his name from Don Stewart-Whyte six months ago"
Goes to prove that racial profiling is not going to work.
They will find a way around it and recruit non-arabs into the death cult. California has produced two so far afterall.
or just buy the DOD manual that tells you how to do all kinds of things.
The information exists, and was widely available before I had ever heard of FTP, much less the internet.
Absolutely agree with you both. If the "profilees" don't like it....profile 'em even harder. If you or I were living in another country and so-called Christians were wreaking terror on that country....we would expect to be profiled at airports, etc.
What was the explosive that was successfully used in the in flight run-up test on an aircraft in the Bojinka case back in what, 1994 or 5? The perp went into the john to assemble his device.
Unless you find a bomb, how do you know if a person is a bomber?
We need to boycot google.
When it comes to random acts, how do you know if the person profiled, is guilty?
I'd be surprised if any major search engine does NOT show these sites. They do not screen for content, other than sexual content.
Like someone said earlier, the information has been available way before the internet if someone wanted to look for it.
It was the Philippine Airlines Flight 434 on a Manila to Narita route. Yousef carried the components of his bomb on him, including nitroglycerin hidden in a bottle of contact lens solution and bomb stabilizers disguised as cotton balls. In the hollowed-out heels of his shoes, Yousef hid batteries.

Oh, great, now I will have to ask for my nail polish remover and clairol haircolor from the pharmacist behind the counter like I do now for sudafed.
I don't get the,'mix the ingredients' thing.
It takes time to evaporate the water the a/p
forms in.
A lot of these sites are derivatives of the old "Anarchists' Cookbook" and other such nonsense. A good proportion of the material is simply wrong. Some of the rest is so dangerous and stupid that one does not have to worry, because anyone attempting the recipes will not survive to hurt anyone else.
The Kewl BoMZ kids will eventually solve the problem when the ISP's who host the sites are sued into oblivion by bereaved parents.
Read the newsgroup alt.engineering.explosives sometime for a horrifying example of irresponsible misinformation and technical incompetence by people who never passed High School Chemistry.
