I mean what do we about items being placed into airplanes? How can we try to prevent it from happening again? As we all know the big prize isn't a Russian airliner. How do we protect ourselves?

We do as good of a job as we can in the states. At the airport in question anybody could get anything on the plane with a decent bribe.

Well I'll just come out with what I am getting at.

 

Most people will say get better equipment at all airports. But a little secret, we don't give out out best technology to all. If airports such as this one had the top of the line technology, the bad guys will use it to help figure out how they can get around it.

 

I agree that in the US we do a good job, I still say we need to do a better job. And to anyone who complains about a scanner seeing your body and all, well flying isn't a right, they should try to get on an El Al flight, talk about security measures! I'm sure you may have had experience with them.

 

Many, including politicians would say throw money at the situation, that really doesn't help either.

 

Places such as CDG, the baggage handlers do not work for the airlines. There is no easy answer.

A lot of discussion now revolves around airport employees. The hiring, monitoring, ect, ect of new and old employees. Lets face it, Muslim supports of Isis either new recruits or old can become active at the click of an email.

 

Once employed inside an airport, 90% of their effort to blowup an aircraft has been accomplished.

 

Its critical Russia lets us examine the plane to determine what type of explosives was used. If its some new kind (I dont think it is) of bomb material (clothes, luggage plastice, ect ect) I would think we might see luggage become even more scrutinized.

Agreed, but it may even be higher than 90%.

 

Many people in other parts of the world, such as Egypt, are poor and or have had hard times with oppression ect from their government or former government. Interviewing and or interrogating brings up another issue, now they may thing that you don't trust them and that may open themselves up to being bribed to get something onto a plane.

 

If Russia/Putin is smart, which I doubt, they would allow us access, then they would share the possible fallout.

 

More scrutinizing the luggage in the U.S. would help, but it wouldn't be nearly as effective overseas. As you mentioned, once they get someone employed or recruit someone already at the airport, they could be in a position to let something slide through, if not place it on the plane themselves, such as a baggage handler or food service employee.

It was a homemade bomb, two airport employees are being questioned.

Per Russia, the bomb was massive.

After Russia's security chief officially stated that an "act of terror" brought down Russian Flight 9268, Vladimir Putin made a few statements of his own.

 

First, he ordered what are thought to be Russia's most significant airstrikes in more than two decades. Putin sent 25 long range bombers armed with bombs and cruise missiles to attack ISIS strongholds in Raqqua, Syria. The bombers made 34 missile strikes, and an un-reported number of bombings. This is quite a statement being made by an air force that was grounded for virtually all of the 1990s and 2000s while the Russian government was essentially incapable of even paying for fuel in its jets.

 

Next, Putin declared France's military as allies of the Russian military in their effort to topple ISIS. Interesting.

 

Lastly, in 90's action movie form, Putin issued two incredibly quotable lines to the press, saying: "To forgive terrorists is up to God, but to send them to Him is up to me." and then later following that up by saying "We are going to pursue terrorists everywhere. If they are in the airport, we will pursue them in the airport. If we capture them in the toilet, then we will waste them in the outhouse."

Sounds like something former US presidents would say.
