Some news did come out. Unattended construction tools inside sterile areas are no threat because construction crews and their tools are in a separate category. Any enterprising terrorist would realize that because of this separate category, he (or she, in deference to Chechen black widows [who are not necessarily whores]) would refrain from using a hammer or screwdriver. This is a very good thing because eventually said terrorist could breach the secured cockpit door, while the FAM has his Bose headphones on and is blissfully typing his secret report on his laptop in first class. Meanwhile, somebody is trying to break open a Bic lighter to start a fire on the plane. But because the person with the Bic lighter went through the shoe carnival, he could not have ignited the explosives packed into his soles. That should bring us up to date.
