In reply to the discussion: Al Qaeda Has 'Developed Liquid Explosives Which Blow Up When Dry' Prompting US Evacuation [View all]Lugal Zaggesi
(366 posts)25. Now that Al Qaeda knows that the NSA is listening to everything
they can let their science fiction writers go wild over cell phone calls, emails and easily decryptable communications:
"Amad, do you have the explosive clothes bombs ready yet to strike the heathen non-believers ?"
"Yes Umar, that research project has gone perfectly and all problems have been resolved, thanks be to Allah."
"What about the suitcases built with highly explosive cyclotrimethylene trinitramine leather? Is that ready yet ?"
"Yes, we will be checking explosive suitcases into dozens of planes on 'Team America, FY Day', PBUH. How is the project killing off American honeybees coming ?"
"Hahaha, yes, that is working perfectly. They suspect nothing but fungicides and pesticides. We will destroy 1/3 of their crops before they know what hit them."
"How about the Global Warming Hoax we paid Al Gore to implement ? How is that coming ?"
"They seem to be close to figuring that one out, I"m sad to say. Soon they will realize that all Americans driving enormous SUV's have absolutely no effect on the climate - but we have put the fear of Allah into them for a few decades, at least."
"What about your Cold Fusion project ? Is that done yet ?"
"Yes, we just need to buy up a few tons of palladium, and we will have enough power for our mobile Satellite Killing Laser."
"Ah, I was going to ask about the mSKL - does it work on airliners as well as predicted ?"
"Yes, thank Allah - our research scientists have overcome all tracking difficulties - by Dec 25th, any blasphemer aluminum birds will fall at our command, PBUH."
"What about the Internet Destroying Virus ? Is that ready yet ?"
"As soon as the Allah-Haters transition 40% of the Internet to IPv6, we will strike hard and fast, Amad. We are letting them hang themselves as they ramp up, unsuspecting."
"Good - our Muslim Research Projects are going perfectly. Soon, the Evil West will stand trembling before our scientific might..."

This came up in 2010. Ordinary clothes cannot absorb enough explosive to blowup.

We should submit meekly to our government's system of surveillance and monitoring.

Wait a minute, so that means you don't allow anyone with wet clothes on the plane?

My guess is that they have some sort of embeded "popable" bag in one's clothes.

I think everybody waiting at the same gate as the terrorist would sniff it out.

You mean the TSA workers wouldn't notice someone dripping wet and smelling like a bomb?

I see a new industry--fly fashions. DHS-approved, DHS-required clothing to be worn in flight.

A big "IF", as it turns out... You mean just as the "underwear bomb" and the "shoe bomb" did?

If you worry about a guy bringing down a plane by setting his pants on fire - yes.

Not trying to "shrink you," whatever that means. No need to take it personally.
