#1 Starting to get answers to the questions Skidmark asked last night in the bomb thread: Wired Magazine asks, "Did Moscow's Airport Bombers Dodge Security Checks?", raising the point that a crowd will always gather outside the security perimeter, and that's where terrorists will hit.

#2 This comment from one of Wired's readers is quite chilling:

I have traveled quite a bit from DMD though not for quite some time. [...]

Reports out of Moscow that I have seen indicate that the scanners and metal detectors were just turned off that day, with no one manning them. This is pretty common in Russian airports if theres no one to work the security at the front gate [...] they just dont scan people.

#3 I don't think I have ever seen baggage security checks to enter the arrivals area post customs/immigration.

#4 Now you know why radical muzzies want to keep muzzie women in burkas from being searched in any way.

#5 Do Muslims have any guarantee of salvation?

Muslims have no guarantee of being saved. They believe that all their works will be accounted for and that on Judgment Day, if your bad works outweigh your good works, you are going to go to hell. But if your good works outweigh your bad works, you'll probably go to heaven. (Since God is all-powerful, they concede that He may do with you as He pleases, even if you have been very righteous. They hope He won't be having a bad day at Judgment.) A third possibility is that you could go to hell and burn your sins off for a while and then be allowed into heaven. The only way Muslims can be guaranteed to go to heaven is through jihad. Although it is often translated holy war, jihad literally means "exerting force for God." One could be in jihad by writing a book about Islam, or by sharing his faith to bring others to Islam, or by physically fighting for the cause of Islam. If a Muslim dies in jihad, he is guaranteed to go to heaven.

#6 OK, lets take a deep breath. There is a big difference between a "head of arab appearance" and a Chechen or Daghestani. I think it is interesting that was the EXACT same claim in the subway bomobing last year. magically a head was found intact. I questioned this on the Rant last time and i question it here. 7 kilos of explosives on someones body, i think that basically tears up the average head beyond recognition no matter who has the vest on. Get off the N. Caucusus bandwagon, you foolishly play into the Russians hands. Russians want the west to include Chechens and N. Caucasians into the terror war because it legitimizes violent Russian oppression of the N. Caucusus. The west really messed up when they let Russia decimiate Chechnya, this forced anti-Russin Chechens into the Islamist radicals hands because they were strangeld and out of money to fight the Russians. Read some history sometime.
