I find it odd that we are led to believe 9 years ago Al Queada was able to fly 3 planes past the USA defence system undetected and make their target as planned.
Now we hear that 3 attempts to smuggle undetectable PETN onto planes have been uncovered and failed to go off.
One would think Al Quaeda would get better at what they do not worse.
Plus the three detected plots, shoe bomber, xmas day bomber and yemen bomb which use difficult to detect PETN are we to believe these are the only 3 attempts all of which got detected ? Common sense would tell you there must have been other attempts which would have escaped detection and got to target.
If there had been 1 or 2 or several incidents where devices actually went off then I could accept that some would be detected and prevented.
The official story just doesn't ring true for me.

Fixing cargo security system would cost billions
LONDON — The glaring weakness of the cargo shipping system has been laid bare by the Yemen-based mail bomb plot — but the cost of fixing it may be too high for governments, airlines and shippers to stomach during a global downturn.
Analysts warn that the cost of screening every piece of air cargo that enters the shipping system in a bid to prevent terror gangs from downing airliners might bankrupt international shipping companies, hobble the already weakened airlines, and still wouldn't provide comprehensive protection.
"In a worst case, it would stop world trade," said James Halstead, a longtime consultant with the Aviation Economics firm. "UPS and FedEx would probably go bust, we'd have a full disaster scenario. The cost of the extra effort involved in putting in security checks to find these sorts of bombs would be almost too much to consider."

Dont forget that it was only last week that the CEO of British Airways came out and denounced the demands the US places on International travel, yet domestic flights experience no such screenings....the RyanAir boss did likewise yesterday....
I suspect this is connected to thar too....
The Saudis are also getting a lot of praise....wonder why?????
we do not believe that the perpetrators of the attack would have known the location of the device when they planned for it to explode.
