According to Fox News:
Law enforcement, airline personnel and airport security officials were warned on Tuesday to pay close attention to electronic items being carried aboard airplanes, with the explanation that Al Qaeda had been working on new methods of concealing weapons.
Frank’s IMAO site, in consideration of this new threat, makes the following observation:
And their attacks are against planes again; these are like one note terrorists. You gotta switch things up, dudes. You know, Speed was on a bus, and Speed 2 was on a boat; that’s how things work here in America.
He then shares a quite lengthy list of tips that should prove useful in the event of an encounter with possible terrorists. Here are just a few that caught my fancy:
* If the guy seated next to you is named Al, watch him with suspicion; that’s halfway to Al Qaeda.
* Terrorists plan to modify cameras as stun weapons. If a terrorist tries to take a picture of you, hold up a mirror and deflect it back at him. Stupid terrorist.
* If terrorists are attacking, you can turn common items into weapons. One is to take your palm and then curl up your fingers. This makes a “fist” which works well as a cudgel. You can also curl up the inflight magazine and bop terrorists on the head with it. It won’t do much damage, but it will be kinda funny. Bop! Bop!
