Bouncer,
Thanks for the help. I missed the article on time from 9-22-01. Yet the fact is that not one of the people being detained by the FBI is accused of having been an employee in secure areas of an airport. The search alluded to in the article must have by now occured with no result. The CNN report does not state that there is a link and that the exacto knives could have been there from before etc. !!!!!!!!!but the biggest thing is that the article goes on to state that the reports of knives under the seats was completely false!!!!!!! So again I am waiting for anyone to come up with a specific case of something being placed on a plane or even a continuing suspicion that it has happened.

I will agree that this is a greater threat than anyone sneaking a knife on an airplane, as weapons snuck on board or through security by confederates was the main method in hijackings. Mainly because it is the only way to be assured of sneaking firearms and explosives on a plane.
