Did TSA get it right in W VA airport? Annie Jacobsen joins me with analysis.

Pakistani woman found with bottles that test positive for explosives.

(Dallas) The airline threat isn’t over yet. TSA screeners in West Virginia detained a Pakistani woman after two bottles of liquid found in her carry-on luggage twice tested positive for explosives. If she is guilty, it won’t be the first time a woman suicide bomber has attacked a plane. Two years ago Chechen women exploded two Russian planes from the toilets. Annie Jacobsen, the author of Terror in the Skies: Why 9/11 Could Happen Again tells.

Annie Jacobsen’s harrowing first-hand account of her flight with a group of suspected terrorists forces us to ask: Could 9/11 happen again? On June 29, 2004, Jacobsen, traveling with her family on Northwest Airlines flight 327, witnessed what she believes was a terrorist “dry run.” In Terror in the Skies, Jacobsen tells the story of Northwest 327 and the government’s bungled response. Her own intensive investigation—corroborated by today’s headlines—shows that the threat to airline travel is very real.

What is the history of female bombers on planes?

Why would a terrorist aim to blow up a relatively low-profile flight from W Virginia to Charlotte?
Why do terrorists continue to aim for planes?

The suspect is of Pakistani descent. Is this an argument for racial profiling?

Is this a “recycled plot”?
