Thomas Greene of The Register walks through the steps a terrorist would have to take in order to concoct the necessary amount of the explosive TATP onboard an airplane — the supposed plot of the suspects apprehended last week in the U.K.
His conclusion: “Certainly, if we can imagine a group of jihadists smuggling the necessary chemicals and equipment on board, and cooking up TATP in the lavatory, then we’ve passed from the realm of action blockbusters to that of situation comedy.”
