your airport screener co-workers with more realistic IED training.

Below is a video of a 14 year-old boy caught with a suicide jacket bomb on by an Israeli checkpoint:

Below is a video of terrorists smuggling suicide belts into Israel in a Palestinian ambulance. First, we

see the driver and patient removed by Israeli checkpoint security, then take the view through a robot,

as it uncovers a suicide belt.

Watch and learn...What each Transportation Security Officer does, is not a joke. It is deadly serious business.

We know you all may be tired, but pay attention...even when you are smiling. Know your surroundings.

Study the people...all of them. Remember, as a tool of terror...terrorist come in every category.

Students and children too...have been used as suicide bombers. Have 360 degrees of vision,

as much as possible.


Trust your instincts...


A FBI data report a few years back, detailed more than 1,000 bomb attacks in the US targeting more

than one person. While before the Oklahoma City bombing law enforcement was classifing these as

attacks with a deadly weapon...it really was home-grown terrorism, all along.

So, yes...terrorist-style "Improvised Explosive Device" [IED] bombings can and do...happen here within

the United States.

Using animals as bombs...Sadly, this donkey had to be sacrificed to save human lives

[ We warn all animal lovers?this is sad to watch...Watch at your own discretion! ]:

    Using animals as bombs

Not using their bare hands [yet you do, during TSA-ordered pat downs...] and instead, more

wisely and more safely...using technology to investigate this IED in the middle of a long

dark road:

    A controlled detonation of an explosive device at the Tubas checkpoint - (10/9/04)

Don't think for a minute terrorist can't launch a sudden attack on any U.S. airport runway from a

nearby roadside or nearby shoreline. It takes less than a few minutes for these portable Qassam

missiles to be removed from any vehicle, set up and directed at planes. These are easier and

cheaper for them to make than the more costly shoulder rockets.

They can wreck havoc to any airport's operation, so if you are on break...drink your coffee while

looking out across and beyond your runways.

While working [or not working] remain cognizant of this possibility...When looking out onto your

airport runway, study the shoreline and look at any nearby roads...Study the people...look for

?what? may seem out of place and for what is not the daily norm you are used to seeing:
