And it yet goes to show that anybody smart can maim or kill others. Call it a MacGuyver-ism or something.
And yet in all these cases, it took intent.
Cases that could be done:
1. Self-inflict nasty disease. Anthrax/Ebola/H1N1
2. Surgery to put a bomb in a stomach. Im sure a chop-doc could do it in Tijuana for the right price.
3. Bomb in laptop or other computerized hardware.
4. Nerve agents: the local news showed barrels and barrels of a nerve agent and where you could find them. Wonder why no terrorist watches the news where this stuff can be easily found.
And the "best solution" is to have the company hire an anesthesiologist and put all passengers to sleep and stack them in racks.
