How To Bring Down An Airliner

You know, with all this crap with the current "sophisticated terrorist threat" going on right now, I feel like I am just going to lose my mind. NONE of what these guys was going to do is particularly original, innovative or sophisticated. Fact is... and I have said it before although maybe not here... if a crazy person or a fanatic wants you dead, you're going to be dead. There is not a damn thing you can do about it. With all the possible ways to damage an airplane or its passengers, the only way to actually prevent someone who was sophisticated or intelligent from doing harm would be to board all passengers naked after doing complete body cavity searches, handing out hospital gowns on the plane and then letting people get clothes from their checked luggage on the other end. And you'd STILL find some nutcase who takes a dose of ex-lax and swallows condoms full of the separate chemical constituents of something explosive, goes to the bathroom on the plane and mixes himself up a shit-bomb. I know! Lets board all passengers in artificially induced comas. And the sad thing about that is, if they did it, some idiots would still fly.
