It would be easy to bring weapons on a plane... I can think of ways to do it and I'm not even a terrorist... the easiest way would be to have your gun parts disguisted as key chains, belt buckels, or electronic equipment etc... the kind of shit that goes off on the metal detector anyway... Then you make the weapon once you are past all the security...
Maybe they weren't even using guns... All they have to do is fly the plane -- one guy could walk into the cockpit with a gas mask, release a chemical weapon -- and that would be it...
When I got on a plane in Austin once they made me fucking open my grapefruit juice and drink it because they thought it may be a chemical weapon -- they're fucking yelling at me because I had no idea what the fuck was going on... Shit like that pisses me off -- but I can see the paranoia... But will a terrorist be that stupid??? -- I'm sure there are chemical weapons that are very tiny and could be harmless until prepared while on a plane... These terrorists aren't idiots... I'm sure they know all the security procedures... It seems to me anyone with half a brain could hijack a plane with a little research and planning. If it comes down to doing anal probes on every person that takes a flight -- very few people will ever fly on planes ;)
Anyway I won't be on a plane any time soon...
