The man was apparently already on the government's no-fly list of suspected terrorists, the official claimed.

That raises more questions than answers Huh

The only thing that disturbs me is how this man got onto the flight...and not only that but how he got on with these type of explosives. Even if you say they arent bad, I still take them as bad. I guess ill have to start worrying again about getting on a plane...the 9/11 excuse wont work anymore with me.  Undecided

Glad there okay, what a horrible scare on Christmas.  Sad

The problem is that airport security on the whole are looking for liquids and metal. There are so many common everyday items or chemicals that when alone are harmless. Bring them together and they are deadly. Ask the average (ex) IRA terrorist what can be made to explode that can be found in the cupboard under your sink or behind your toilet and you would never fly again. Bearing in mind that just about everyone has a detonator in their pocket, a mobile phone and even better it it has a flash, complete security is just not possible. The only way around this is an absolute ban on hand luggage and pocket items in the cabin. EVERYTHING in the hold, but this is not practical.

As I've always said, the TSA pats themselves on the back for no 9/11 attacks since they were created.  I simply say, its because the terrorists haven't tried.

He was on a transfer from Nigeria, basically that tells the complete story.

He probably never went groundside at Schiphol so he was not checked there.

You will know more about Schiphol Airport than me but I find that difficult to believe. From what it says HERE "At Schiphol, all passengers, including transfer passengers, will be subjected to an extensive security check at the gate"

That check is a complete joke on schengen flights
If you dont look too suspicuos they wont notice. Just bag check and some scanner thing that freaks out on your shoe lace rings.

But Lagos managed to book a listed person on a US bound flight... Before pissing on EHAM they'd better find out how THAT happened (probably bribes)

And I'd say you're right. They'ed rather search a 90 year old grandmother instead of Mohommed or Achmed passing through security because it's not "PC".

They just haven't been trying.

Meaning? Every time I flew back from Lagos to Amsterdam my bags, suitcases and pockets were checked and searched.

Everytime I flew from Amsterdam to Lagos I could pass without being stopped, checked or searched....

Thinking about making a new rule that makes all passengers stay in there seats 1 hour prior to landing.
