Air Travelers Told to Expect Closer Checks on Gadgets (washingtonpost.com): "The additional screening is the latest of several measures taken to tighten airport security since the department notified airlines July 28 of a possible terrorist plot to hijack a plane using common items disguised as weapons. Yesterday's advisory was the first to indicate that the threat might be directed at buildings as well as planes. "

Interesting to know that the government expects terrorist to try to make their ordinary personal items and try to make them look like weapons. Perhaps they are going to try to over run the security folk so they get used to seeing knives, guns and explosives. I can see the next headline "Security Forced Stunned that Stun Gun was a Stun Gun" with a sub quote "We thought it was a cell phone made to look like a stun gun."
