From CNN (via. BoingBoing):
Terrorists planned to use MP3 players and energy drinks to blow up as many as 10 jetliners bound for the United States, authorities said Thursday.
A senior congressional source said it’s believed the plotters planned to mix a “British version of Gatorade” with a gel-like substance to make an explosive that they would possibly trigger with an MP3 player or cell phone.
So the “terrorists” made Gatorade (subsequently generalized to include all liquids) and MP3 players suspect items. This is no terrorist plot! They’re trying to take away our cheap beverages (by forcing us to buy overpriced fluids on the plane) and our good music. Humbug!
