Your ignoring the implications of the recent Russian suicide hijackings.

The facts (as I understand them) concerning the two Russian planes that were recently crashed:

1) Russian airport security is among the best in the world
2) Both planes were hijacked and destoryed almost at the same time
3) The hijackers were females
4) The hijackers died in the aircraft's rear lavatories (their bodies were shredded by the explosion).
5) The explosive was hexogen (only a small quantity required to destroy an aircraft).

Connect the dots to figure out how these females smuggled the high explosive into the aircraft. I call this newly proven hijacking technique:

"Have orifice, will travel"

There's no real defense against this. When Al Qaeda starts using this method on a regular basis, it will cripple international travel.
