Possibility of bomb in Russian plane crash will shift focus towards bomb detection tech
"On Saturday, October 31st, 2015, the Russian passenger plane Kogalymavia Flight 9268 crashed into the Sinai peninsula in Egypt , killing all 217 passengers and 7 crew members aboard. Although foul play was not suspected at first and it has not been clearly determined what brought the plane out of the sky , there is growing suspicion that the crash may indeed have been the result of an act of terror."
"Some intelligence reports indicate that operatives associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have claimed responsibility , although it is still unclear as of this writing if that is the case. The suggested link has spurred political action as Russia has already returned 11,000 of its citizens from Egypt . The British government has claimed that a Thomson Airways jet flying over a similar region of Egypt had to take evasive action to avoid a missile"
"Dozens of commercial passenger flights have been the setting of bombing events going as far back as October 1933, when a nitroglycerin bomb denoted and felled a Boeing 247 liner as it was flying over Chesterton, IN. U.S Code Title 49, which governs transportation laws, includes a section on explosive detection technologies which requires the deployment of those technologies pursuant to an order from the Undersecretary of Transportation for Security."
On October 31, 2015, Kogalymavia Flight 9268 crashed in the Sinai Peninsula, killing 224 people, with growing suspicion of a terrorist act. Some intelligence linked operatives associated with ISIL and Russia repatriated about 11,000 citizens from Egypt. British officials reported a nearby Thomson Airways jet had to take evasive action to avoid a missile. Commercial aviation has experienced bombings since at least 1933, prompting regulatory responses. U.S. law (Title 49) mandates explosive-detection technologies under the Undersecretary of Transportation for Security. The TSA employs explosive trace detection at checkpoints using swab-based chemical analysis and increased ETD testing in 2010.
