US Intelligence officials concerned over growing terror-talk on Internet
February 13th, 2010 - 1:57 pm ICT by ANILondon, Feb. 13 (ANI): US Intelligence officials have noticed a recent surge in terror-linked discussions on the Internet, where al Qaeda Jihadist focus on finding ways to evade airport security, according to CBS News.
On one radical website, a writer invites fellow members to post information on how to bypass airport screening. Another member asks about explosive detection devices, writing: “We have that system in place in Algiers…does anyone know if it’s capable of detecting [the flammable gas] butane?” On another Jihadist site, a visitor questions security involving 3D scanners at British airports asking: “Can I refuse [to pass through] for religious reasons?” A reply soon follows: “Those who wish to avoid the Heathrow scanners to take the train to Paris… and then board a plane from there.” However, the most disturbing among all is the recent discovery of a confidential TSA document on a Yemeni Web site discussing the rules for searching passengers.
