“The FBI is examining the latest bomb to see whether it could have passed through airport security and brought down an airplane, officials said. They said the device did not contain metal, meaning it probably could have passed through an airport metal detector. “
What a coincidence. That was the plot of ACT OF VALOR.
The terrorists wore suicide vests made with ceramic ball bearings to avoid metal detectors.
It would’ve been worn by an Islamist jihadist, therefore the screening process would do nothing to keep the terrorist from boarding the plane.
