Abstract

The article reports that the disclosure in which British officials foiled a potential terrorist plot to explode bombs aboard several or more aircraft using liquid explosives and other materials, showed that security systems, particularly at passenger checkpoints, are still lacking in their ability to detect certain explosives.
