Online Extremists Recommended Methods Exactly Like Those Used by Abdulmutallab

Extremist Internet forums discussed blowing up planes three weeks before the Detroit attempt -- and have also discussed ways of using deadly biological agents onboard planes.

A private Israeli intelligence company told ABC News Monday there was a surge of online discussions in extremist Islamic forums about blowing up planes three weeks before Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's attempt to bring down Northwest Flight 253. The discussions recommended using "improvised detonation chain" devices, exactly like the one used onboard the Detroit-bound flight.

The company has also tracked specific -- and in its view -- credible plans to attack planes using deadly biological agents

Yes, the system worked. Janet has been correct all along. People just do not realize that she was referring to Al-Qaeda’s system.

Raining destruction and inferno from above ... the mooselimbs don’t have the brains to develop an airforce to use so they use our commercial airlines to rain death and destruction. The frightening thing is liberal fools like inhabit Detroit cannot seenm to make the connection to what the mooselimbs planned for the ground dwellers in detroitistan.

I think they see it as a vulnerable area that can cause a lot of damage maybe? It is probably just part of trying to instill terror in peoples minds. Of course thats just a personal opinion.

They are easy to blow up..as you can see.

I am betting, every american, that has read anything about terror, since 911, can think up a lot better things to blow up...only..they arent as easy as getting on a plane with a crotch bomb.

Oh..one more thing. Dont think that even a crotch search will keep you safe. Unless they begin body cavity searches..nobody is safe.

My advice? Stay on the ground..as long as you have feet, you can run. You aint running anywhere, in a plane.

What's next? Homicide bomber rolls his very large suitcase into a major airport. He tells the skycap, no thanks I'll handle my own bag. You get in line with the throng of people checking their bags. You wind your way through the line until you are near the middle of the crowd. Then you detonate your huge bomb. Not some little bomb that had to be no bigger than your pecker, but a huge bomb you have in your suitcase AND your carry-on bag. Do a follow up attack at another airport, same day, next day. Air travel will STOP. The economy will crash. Then while the Obama administration is designing full suitcase scan machines, do the same in Grand Central Station, a main bus station or two.

How do these bombers get into the country, you ask? First of all, they are already here. Home grown or they just walked through our WIDE OPEN borders.

I know we can't PROFILE muslims because of all the Japanese terrorists we created during WWII by not just profiling them, but actually putting them in camps. We still are suffering today from the hoards of worldwide Japanese terrorists.

No, we can't adopt the 100% successful Israeli SIX levels of security profiling starting when your car pulls into the airport parking lot. No, we are above that. We don't profile. We WILL pay the price for this stupidity.
