Are Liquid Explosives on a Plane Feasible?

permaculture writes "The Register describes the difficulty of mixing up a batch of liquid explosives on a plane. Further, it opines that such a plot might work in a Hollywood film, but not in the real world. Liquid explosives were used for the 7/7 London bombings in 2005, according to the official account — or not, as now seems more likely."

    Is built the entire plane out of sodium. That way crashing it into the sea (or flying it through a rain cloud) would achieve the desired effect without all of the expense and inconvenience of organised terrorism.

    Anyone who has researched any of the evidence of either 9/11 or 7/7 knows that both were perpetrated not by terrorists but by governments seeking approval for their bloody oil wars.

    There was thermate in both of the twin towers. Muslims had nothing to do with any of it. Furthermore, 10 of the alleged 16 hijackers are still alive in Saudi Arabia.

    One perpetrator of 7/7 was apprehended, and face down on a subway platform was shot in the back of the head five times in front of a whole crowd of witnesses.

    Terrorists aren't the problem. The erosion of the constitution by an unelected fascist regime is the problem.

    Do even five seconds of research into the science behind either plot. Chemicals, math, physics, logic, reality, and common sense do not lie. Governments on the other hand are well known for it.

    Luckily, by and large, these guys are a bunch of, shall we say, fuckwits. We have the balls to stop them, eh? And the rest of the world is just going to let terrorists attack them?

    This is not a war between a few thousand dumbasses with bombs and the military might of the US. These people may think they can take over the world, but they aren't going to so they are just non-rational criminals. 15 guys with bombs aren't going to be able to take over a country. The totalitarians you should be afraid of are the ones that have power or real access to power. Not a bunch of disaffected people in the London suburbs or a cave in pakistan. They could target us all day and night but if they think they can destroy our country they are just fools. They couldn't destroy our country if we did nothing. They don't have the man power or the firepower. World domination is way beyond their ability. I think they know this as well. There goals are probably small and specific.

    did you know there was white hot molten metal in the rubble of 9/11? no im not exagerating. And electron microprobe results for it show all the markers of thermate? even the gel used to make explosive nanothermate for blasting?

    have a look here, and also read the pdf linked near the top, you'll see the proof of what I am talking about

    Amazing. You get your news from the Daily Show... simply amazing! I used to watch Jon Stewart, because he used to be funny. Now he just uses the show to promote his liberal agenda. I've got news for ya, buddy: the islamo-fascists really DO exist, they represent pure evil, and they want to kill you or convert you. In fact, they'd rather just kill you. Yes, YOU. It doesn't matter that you want to appease them or ignore them. They still want to saw your head off with a large knife. There is no negotiating with them, no reasoning with them. The threat is real, and it's not going to go away unless islam undergoes some MAJOR reform. Our government is not the enemy, as Mr. Stewart would have you believe. No, they're not perfect; they're far from it, and in fact they screw up a lot. But for someone (a previous poster) to say that they're more afraid of our own government than the terrorists, is ludicrous. And for you to say that you "are willing to take the chance of another 9/11" is patently absurd!! I sure as hell am not willing to take that chance. Almost 3,000 innocent Americans lost their lives on 9/11. Just ignoring the problem is not going to make it go away. BTW, the average detainee at Gitmo has gained almost 20 pounds during his stay.
