TERROR:AIR BORNE

The recent attempts by the Islamic terrorists ( that’s what they proclaim themselves) to blow aircrafts by mixing some aerosol gels and then triggering with an ipod or cellphone has shocked the whole World.

This attack has led to a world where wars, terrorist attacks will revolve around sophisticated chemical weapons which can be mixed and detonated by devices as innocuous as ipods. Nail polish removers, disinfectants and hair coloring dyes contain chemicals that can be highly explosive which even the ‘sniffer’ machines cannot detect. This will also be a major concern for people carrying cell phones, laptops as they will be scrutinized, and won’t be allowed to take them in the cabin as anyone can go in the toilet and attach their cell phone to their favorite beverage( apparently the terrorists were carrying the liquid gel in a Gatorade bottle) and there you have the right concoction for destruction!

Pakistani British citizens have been apprehended with one of them working for the jet airways.
They are alleged to have helped the perpetrators get on the plane. Terror has acquired a whole new dimension now, they are now well acquainted with latest pernicious technological advancements, thanks to their ever expanding network. Even well educated, well heeled people are getting fooled by these so called jehadis who promise jannat for killing thousands of innocent people, obliterating cities, making infants motherless. No religion proclaims killing innocent humans as a detour to nirvana, yet they have successfully managed to create a nefarious network. But ultimately they are defaming Islam and the whole muslim community.

Science which is a boon to humanity , becomes baneful when gets in wrong hands.

You never know, your fellow Phd. student can be using the latest innovations to blast your family!!!
