Excerpt -
Al Qaeda terrorists were planning to use cameras to disguise bombs and flash attachments as stun guns in a disrupted hijack plot that targeted the U.S. east coast, Britain, Italy and Australia, U.S. officials say. The plot was one of three previously unknown al Qaeda hijack plots disrupted before they could be carried out, according to a Department of Homeland Security report obtained by ABC News.

We need a new airline--Muzzie Air. Muslims can travel on that one, and the rest of us on airlines where we can be safe from these animals. Plus, if they want to hijack a plane, it makes it more palatable to shoot it down.

So now I'm going to have Johnny Lunchbox TSA goon mucking up my camera equipment, after they take my nail clippers and sniff my shoes. @$%@#!%$@! spiffy.

Come now.....when we had pagers instead of cell phones, we had to turn it on in front of them to prove it was real.
They can do the same thing for your flash unit today.

I'm rather skeptical of this report. The original 9-11 hijacking depended heavily on the default assumption that hijackers are a bunch of nutballs who want a free ride to Cuba and a spot on the 11:00 news. This assumption didn't even survive for the entire duration of that day's events, and when it broke down, so did the terrorist plan (which is why they created a crater in Backonowhere, Pennsylvania instead of the Capitol or White House).
Whatever else al-Qaeda leaders are, they aren't morons.
