The concern currently is for binary explosive devices. Theoretically, a couple of guys each bring a bottle of soda on board. Except the soda isn't soda so when they combine the two the chemical reaction is enough to blow a hole in the side of the palne and depressurize.

The advantage to the deadeneders here is that there are no timing devices and nothing for the sniffers to alert to. Just two assholes looking for virgins in all the wrong places.

Maybe the best plan is to profile and keep all the usual suspects away from each other on the plane, and allow only one beverage per person. Well, maybe not. :)

I have never heard of a "binary explosive device" before. It is grand that someone as old as moi can still learn something new. The trick now is to remember it!

One part of it has to react to the other ... therefore that part can be "sniffed".

Coke and Tums are not going to take out a plane ...
