MSNBC is reporting that the DHS and the FBI issued a warning to the
Transportation Security Administration today stating that al-Qaida may
attempt to use watches with cigarette lighters or Casio watches with
built-in altimeters to detonate bombs on board US airliners.
"Recent intelligence suggests al-Qaida has expressed interest in
obtaining wristwatches with a hidden butane-lighter function and Casio
watches with an altimeter function. Casio watches have been extensively used
by al-Qaida and associated organizations as timers for improvised explosive
devices. The Casio brand is likely chosen due to its worldwide availability
and inexpensive price."

terrorists win."
The madness never ends.
