RIGHT NOW they say that FBI analysis of Richard Reid's shoe bomb shows that it was actually an incredibly sophisticated bomb, containing two different explosive agents. This indicates, they say, that this is evidence that the terror network may be more sophisticated than originally thought who can manufacture explosives beyond the capabilities of airport screening. Now that's information I want to know.
That Reid bomb was about 10 oz of C4 equivalent explosive - or about the same amount that destroyed PanAm 007 over Scotland. C4 type explosive is well controlled, difficult to manufacture, and is rumored to have been purchased on the street in Netherlands. On the street? Whats going on here? What has that pretty face at the top to say about this?

And just so that the pretty face does not distract you - what happened to and where did all that C4 come from in the Philly Bus Terminal? More silence and a pretty face so we might forget? Or did we forget?
