” Would you be surprised if a terrorist hid explosives in their baby’s diaper? I wouldn’t.”
Once the stroller set off the explosive alarm, all bets are off.
They’re going to try anything and everything.
We visit family in the area often and KCI is a very unique airport
and has a very unique security situation.
Because of that , security , even with the most updated
screening equipment ,
is much more stringent and intrusive at KCI.
Because it has to be.
The terrorists have used unsuspecting victims before.
“In 1986, Anne Marie Murphy, a young Irish woman, was planning to take
an El Al flight from London to Tel Aviv
to meet the parents of her
fiance, a Palestinian.
Murphy, who was pregnant, had no idea that the
man she was planning to marry
had hidden plastic explosives and a
detonator in one of her suitcases.
Israeli profilers interviewing Murphy
found out about her boyfriend, got suspicious,
and then discovered the
bomb before the jumbo jet took off.”
And when did Israeli profilers pat Anne Marie Murphy down? When did they check under her maternity clothes for a bomb? You post this to illustrate the need for good security but your post highlights the fact that our TSA system is pitiful and the Israeli system works.
