Three Muslim would-be suicide bombers planning to blow up trans-Atlantic airliners were convicted in a London court as reported in the ‘Telegraph’ (8 July 2010). Originally, 24 Muslim were taken into custody; 13 were charged; and two were released without charges. While no one can doubt their intentions – and those accomplices who escaped trial – the practicality of mixing otherwise inert liquids, in an in-flight loo to make a bomb is ludicrous. The fallacy of such a plan has already been exposed as untrue by a fellow alumni, Lieutenant-Colonel Nigel Wylde, the explosives expert awarded the Queen’s medal for gallantry for his bomb disposal work during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
As far back as September 2006, Wylde cast doubt on the liquid explosives threat much to the annoyance of the British Security Service, MI5, and ‘Home Security’ in the States. Why? Because the Ordnance Officer’s revelation made nonsense of the ridiculous precautions imposed on the air-travelling public: the whopping sums spent on increased airport security, the ban of liquids taken on board, the body searches and increased presence of armed police. The increased cost of air travel as well as the financial bonanza for security services is beyond belief; the facts are simple and remind us of the fiction created by big brother.
As Wylde stated, the idea of people sitting on a plane loo to mix simple household fluids to make an explosive mixture is untenable. Creating a liquid explosive ‘is a highly dangerous and sophisticated task,’ he said. ‘Who came up with this idea?’
Beside stinking himself and the rest of the passengers out of existence, any concoction mixed would have to be let stand for a few hours for crystals to form, crystals that would form the explosive element. Then there is problem of fitting or fashioning and fitting a detonator.
In short, there’s been a lot of lying and deception from the security services. The answer is to abandon flying and do one’s business on the internet. We’re being swindled again.

How many security men does it take to change a light bulb? One to administer the loyalty oath, two to check the toilets for errant Muslims mixing explosives, three to carry out indoor covert surveillance on the actual light bulb changer, four to watch over the exercise in a van parked outside, five to make up the Oversight Committee and, finally, one to do the actual job. I make it 16. Any advance?
