Absolutely right. David Asman said in so many words that they (terrorists) had been plotting this for 9 months .. had obviously found a weakness .. apparently the liquids. Just what would it take in liquids to cause explosive havoc and destruction in the air .. any chemists here? Oh .. the Sky News guy is talking now about chemical explosives, depends on what the goal was.
Yes, I have just learned that Menthols and Diet Coke can explode --- I heard one reporter mention amonia nitrate --- apparnetly easily concealed in liquids.
