U.S. Airports Warned About Terror Dry Runs

Michael J. Sniffen -
Airport safety measure officers around the U.S. have been alerted by federal officials to look out for terrorists practicing to carry explosive components onto aircraft, based on four curious seizures at airports since last September.
The seizures at airports in San Diego, Milwaukee, Houston and Baltimore included “wires, switches, pipes or tubes, cell phone components and dense clay-like substances,” including block cheese, said an unclassified ready distributed on July 20 by the Transportation defense Administration.
A joint FBI-Homeland protection office assessment found that terrorists have conducted probes, dry runs and dress rehearsals in advance of previous attacks.
