Thermite? That was the first attack method I thought of decades ago when considering possible terrorist attacks on airliners. Took TSA that long to figure out something so obvious? sigh...

Sure. They all have to work and they'll all get big checks in a couple weeks.
Fear mongering for the low information voter works since 49% of the adults in the US don't work, but most of them take their trips to Disney World and use their EBT cards.

Took TSA that long to figure out something so obvious? This is BS. Just another "leak" to scare the beejeezuz out of us. The "Thermite Threat!"

Well, at least we know that Al-Qaedi won’t be involved, after all they have been decimated.

I think they waited to bring it out for times just like these. They want their funding to buy more furniture and parties.

Let’s hope that terrorists don’t buy the MacGyver DVD boxed set to see what mixtures other than thermite can be made to blow up. Also hope that TSA doesn’t watch it because then you’ll never get on a plane with a paper clip, a golf pencil and a AA battery.

what an FBI report called the greatest potential incendiary threat to aviation, Hey, you know what is a bigger "incidiary threat'? Obama giving a nuke to the Iranians. This is the government that I'm supposed to trust to protect me?

You cannot extinguish a thermite fire. It will burn through the floor, cargo containers, and the hull.

I still say coordinated use of stinger missiles would be quick, easy, deadly and quite possible.

Problem is, there’s next to nothing that can be done about it short of outright banning metal luggage.

LOL. I thought the same thing.
I have about ten pounds of it, used primarily for melting old computer hard drives and for entertainment.

Same here. At least commercially. I did fly to Iraq and back a couple times. I’m not counting the flights in helicopters though.
