CrAKeN Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The FBI conducted tests on the devices late last year Terrorists have “developed innovative ways” to conceal explosives in electronic devices that are capable of avoiding detection by some airport security systems, according to a report from CNN. The finding from US intelligence and law enforcement agencies was a factor in the recent US ban against carry-on electronics larger than a smartphone on direct flights from eight Muslim-majority countries. The bomb-hiding laptops can be successfully “turned on long enough” to avoid suspicion at airports, CNN said in a TV segment. Intelligence agencies declined to comment on the report’s specifics to CNN, which claims that terrorist groups have obtained their own airport security devices in an attempt to create explosives that would go unnoticed in some screenings in the United States and abroad. Quote CNN has learned that, through a series of tests conducted late last year, the FBI determined the laptop bombs would be far more difficult for airport screeners to detect than previous versions terrorist groups have produced. The FBI testing focused on specific models of screening machines that are approved by the Transportation Security Administration and are used in the US and around the world. The US ban affects inbound, direct flights from Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates. The UK has instituted a similar ban that applies to flights from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Turkey. Australia has announced that it will implement additional security checks for passengers traveling from Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which may include “targeted screening of electronic device.” Last week, The Guardian reported that the heightened flight security was “partly prompted by a previously undisclosed plot involving explosives hidden in a fake iPad.” Banned items (laptops, tablets, e-readers, and so on) must be stored in checked luggage, where it can be harder to trigger explosives from the cabin and potentially less catastrophic if a detonation were to occur. BuzzFeed News previously reported on “increased chatter” from militants aiming to hide explosives in laptop PCs. Some airlines have responded to the ban’s inconvenience by offering passengers free iPads during flight. Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylence Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 I see Turkey in the list, prolly because Erdogan turned against US. so if you be US ally and even if you be terrorist in nature like saudis and blow up the WTC yet you won't be labeled terrorist but countries like Turkey who turned against US or Iran who killed more ISIS terrorist members than any US coalition, then they call them terrorists. yup that's the world we live in and believe me there are a LOT of brainwashed people around who believe whatever they see on the news. http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2017/feb/07/reince-priebus/were-7-nations-identified-donald-trumps-travel-ban/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody can be discriminated by its nationality. You are making huge confusion considering one nationality as "terrorist in nature". First of all, nobody is a terrorist by nature, you are not born terrorist, you become one. Secondly, you cannot judge someone by its nationality. Please delete your post that is clearly against the rules. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salafi Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 No wonder, Terrorists are very ingenious. It is enough to see how 5000 terrorists resist fiercely against 100,000 Iraqi soldiers supported by the international coalition in Mosul for more than 5 months ... The United States must take firm security measures to protect itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iranian source lol? haha fine have your brain more washed by Foxnews, who cares i believe you can read English right? in the video: threatening Europe and America with suicide bombers in case they decide to meddle in Syria. Not all nations go cry to US and claim over their balls to get relative protection and weapons. Not all nations in the world are dogs to bow down to US policies. others fight back. what they say is Fair, look at the top comment on the video as well, that person says the same thing. I don't even understand why you showing me that video, you must've got your answer by simply watching it. and btw, that logo on the mic, which they blurred intentionally, is Press TV's log, yup Iranian source.
