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.

It will be interesting to see what TSA comes up with now.

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.

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.

+ another & any one who thinks it can't happen here is a fool. But TSA would rather focus on dangerous water

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