"Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" (The
Judiciary Report does not recommend this film)
Is Hollywood giving terrorists ideas. Based on online
synopsis and promotional information, the film "Harold and Kumar Escape
From Guantanamo Bay" has a scene with a man faking illness on a plane
headed to Amsterdam, going to the bathroom, then
assembling a bong that resembles a bomb.
As he
leaves the bathroom, he clumsily trips and the smoking bong he tried to
ignite is mistaken for a bomb, which leads passengers to try and jump him.
This is
very similar to what transpired with the attempted Christmas 2009 bombing of
an NWA-Delta plane landing in Detroit, Michigan.
PETN Bomb (DO NOT TRY THIS
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, AS YOU COULD DIE):
According to the FBI's website, "Abdulmutallab went to the bathroom for
approximately 20 minutes" most likely to assemble the bomb. A video demonstration on YouTube
of how PETN bombs work, seemed to indicate it takes 30 minutes for
the explosive mixture to set.
Did the terrorist miscalculate the time causing the bomb to misfire.
The Hitman (The Judiciary Report does not recommend this film)
In the 2007 movie "The Hitman" a bomb is surgically inserted inside a man, he
is sent into a room with a group of men, who are being targeted, then
the explosive is detonated. In June 2009, a 24-year-old terrorist attempted
to kill Saudi Arabia's counter-terrorism minister, via a bomb inserted
in his backside.
