Terrorists are testing concealed explosives with stolen airport security equipment, intel sources say, raising questions about whether the laptop travel ban is broad enough.
ISIS and other terrorist organizations have developed innovative ways to plant explosives in electronic devices, according to the FBI. The intelligence led to recent airline restrictions banning many electronics from the cabins of planes flying directly to the United States from airports in eight countries. Ref. CNN.
Yeah, and I'm sure it's more items than just laptops that our enemies are testing. We have to remember that they are a smart and determined foe and they mean to do us harm in any way they can. The minute we underestimate them is when they will get through and hurt us again.

No matter what they try they will be caught one way or another. Working in security it is one of the first lines of defense against these people. The biggest threat is to airports, train station and ports. You have the potential of effecting a lot of people. You would think that sooner or later one of them is going to get through and we will be back to new ways to detect them again. This is a currently evolving field and it is getting a bit dangerous out there.
