Re: Air travel security is retarded - why?
You should look up Ramzi Yousef and the Bojinka plot. Yousef, who was behind the first WTC bombing, successfully detonated a bomb using batteries hidden in his shoes and an explosive hidden in contact lens fluid bottles on a 1994 Philippine Airlines flight.
What's shocking is that it doesn't seem like any measures were taken to watch out for this kind of activity in the years following.
