The Threat.

This is coolbert:

The Threat - - remote-controlled toys?

Here is a story from the Chicago Tribune today that immediately catches my attention.

Airport screeners on lookout for remote-controlled toys

WASHINGTON - -

"Airport screeners will be taking a closer look at remote-controlled toys in carry-on luggage due to concerns they could be used to detonate bombs."

"Passengers - - including children - - carrying the toys on airplanes may have to go through secondary screen”

"Authorities recently arrested two Florida engineering students and accused one of them of posting a video online with instructions on how to use a remote-controlled toy to set off a bomb”

[in legal circles, these “students” have demonstrated what is called depraved mentality!! Evil thinking!!]

“The agency [TSA] decided against a ban of the toys.”

Ask yourself this! WHY WOULD ANYONE EVEN NEED TO BRING A REMOTE-CONTROLLED TOY WITH THEM EITHER IN THE CARRY-ON BAGS OR ON THEIR PERSON??!! THEY ARE GOING TO FLY THE WOO-WEE RC DRAGONFLY IN THE CABIN WHILE THE FLIGHT IS IN PROGRESS??!!

OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT!!

Recall that it takes only about a quarter [1/4] of a pound of C4 plastic explosive to bring down a commercial airliner. This remote detonation using a toy is feasible!!?? I guess so? The villains have obviously considered such an approach.
