Suicide Bomber at Moscow Airport-1/24/11
Just heard a quick blurb on the local news. Sounds like a suicide bomber blew him/herself up in the baggage claim area. Anybody else have more details?
Not a lot of details. |
At least 10 people are believed to have been killed in an explosion at Moscow's Domodedovo airport.Domodedovo is the busiest of the Russian capital's three commercial airports. Russian news agencies cited unspecified sources as saying the blast occurred inside the airport's international arrivals hall. Dozens of people are thought to have been injured. |
I wonder exactly where "inside the arrivals hall" is. The public waiting area or the airside arrivals hall. If the latter, LOTS of questions come up.

Early local reports suggested the blast may have hit the baggage reclaim area of the international arrivals hall. |
Explosion in Moscow Airport Luggage Area
At least 10 killed in apparent sucide bombing.
http://content.usatoday.com/communit...scow-airport/1 It will be interesting to see what TSA comes up with now. |
Now reported by RIA Novosti to be 31 dead, 130 wounded, with lots of smoke still (suggesting the final toll could rise). Very sad.

I would say the most dangerous part of flying in the US is waiting in any line for the airline, TSA or other areas. I'm most familiar with DFW, FLL and LAS and in each case baggage claim is outside of the secure area so anyone can insert a device.
Waiting in long airline ticket lines or waiting in some rather long lines for TSA (LAS) provides an opportunity for something to happen. |
The next step is to find out where the luggage came from, and find out who dropped the ball in security.

It's being reported as a suicide bomber. I'm guessing he just walked in.
A close friend is transiting through Moscow on a return trip to the US in about ten days. I wonder how this attack will affect that trip. |

Based on their main principle of "planning to fight the last war" no doubt the TSA will require anyone entering arrivals to go through security checks

It will only get worse when the lines grow when they make MMW and Backscatter primary. Those are the questions that |
