Can be used to lure a crazed Cosby into attacking a schoolbus full of children eating pudding pops.

Yeah lets go back to the stone age because everything can be used in a malicious way.
 
More news articles need to start with the phrase "Some Guy" or "Some Person". It puts the story in better perspective. Most other news sites would have just said "iPhone AR App is Terrorist Tool" just to stir the public up.
 
@shihabyooo

because an RPG can really take an airborne plane......
 
[citation][nom]shihabyooo[/nom]RPG + an iPhone = a Recipe for Destruction.[/citation]

95% of the time a plane is already out of range of an RPG. 10k-30k feet up in the air is just too high. The only time it would be vulnerable to such a device is on takeoff or landing, even then, a 30 second delay means its already gone after you find anything out.

Even then, you wouldn't be a terrorist, you'd be an assassin, a terrorist only needs to know its a plane, with people on it. Airlines typically want to make money by having people on them, so anything with wings will do. And I'm sure they can tell the difference between a passenger plane and a cargo plane.

If you think about it, its all just plain stupid security theatre for political posturing. I hope they censure the MP for his idiocy. This reminds me of the bozo who was warning about the dangers of smoking LETTUCE.
 
excuse me,

any harmless substance can cause mroe harm than this

look at alcohol for example, pure alcohol vapors burn, its the same thing with petrol bombs and look at the ira they manage that all the time
 
Jello.

Arrange for 100 pounds of industrial-grade gelatin to be delivered to target facility. Enter facility under cover of dark. Locate mail room and dolly; truck gelatin to the largest ladies' room discoverable in the blueprints you downloaded when you hacked into the architectural firm's file server. Flush gelatin. Wait 'til morning.

Chaos ensues.
 
True real time traffic data should be available to the general public for all non military motor vehicles. This will make no difference in the amount of terrorist attacks. That 30 second delay in the Plane Finder app needs to be eliminated.
 
Since the phone itself can be chuncked at someone and poke an eye out, can't the iPhone be considered a Tool of Destruction?
 
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BAN JELLO AND PUDDING!

Supposedly you make a napalm-like substance using jello mix and gasoline.
 
[citation][nom]TommySch[/nom]So we should waste billions upon billions, our time, our liberties and basically declare forfeit because a bunch of loosely affiliated rag-heads barely manage to kill a few dozen westerners each year? Its about time that people understand that a terrorist cell automatically lose if we just IGNORE them.[/citation]
Yes. If you ignore them, they will just give up after they kill a couple hundred thousand. They'll realize that they have been beaten when they still didn't get any airtime on the major news outlets, and will all pack it up and go home.

Look, I'm all for not giving up liberties. But ignoring them isn't going to help anyone but the terrorists.

Jellopalm? Does it stick to babies just as well? Terrorists might need to start using it, if it helps them defeat TommySch's infallible "ignore them" defense.

Don't know for sure, but I bet you could mix Jell-O with gasoline or some other flammable liquid and made some sort of solid napalm. Might even be better than the old file in a cake trick since people can see right through Jell-O.

Poison Jell-O and feed it to people/children.

I wonder if you filled a swimming pool with Jell-O and got it to that thick but still liquid state, if someone would be able to swim in it or if they'd just sink to the bottom.

Any other ideas?
