And pray enlighten us all as to just which 'Dead Language' this is? Are you referring to the Queen's English or Latin - BOTH of which may well be 'Dead' in your part of the world, but neither of which are 'dead' in the part of the world I live in, nor the circles which I move in.

Up until yesterday I thought it would be unrealistic to assume that a guy could get on a plane with a fake suicide belt made out of phone cases covered in cloth, in these times unrealistic scenarios can quickly become reality.

Well no... no one would stop him getting on with some cloth and phone cases in his hand luggage. I imagine he probably cobbled it together in the bathroom, rather than taking it on assembled. I mean look at the picture, it looks like it took about 30 seconds .

So, not unrealistic that it COULD happen. Utterly bizarre that it did happen, I suppose.

The phone cases would have shown up in his hand luggage as a square objects on the X-ray screens so his suitcase should have been opened, and apparently he had cables as well so they should have been removed if nothing else, and the point is it would have been assumed to be an unrealistic scenario for this to have happened the day before yesterday, it has now been reported he has used fake passports in the past and was banned from entering Cyprus so how he was allowed to have a passport is also beyond belief

Phone cases and fabric tends to be easier to smuggle than nuclear material but okay.

But used to hijack a plane is pretty unrealistic right? as being gunned down in a Parisian street in large numbers on a Friday night? Or being slaughtered on a Tunisian beach by a lone guy dressed as a tourist who arrived on a boat, or Christian children being blown up in a playground, all scenarios straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster right?

Wouldn't watch it tbh, sounds depressing.

Again, that has little to do with the discussion of the possibility of a WMD being acquired by IS and being smuggled into and used against the US.

To compare someone getting their hands on a gun and saying it's as realistic as terrorists going nuclear is just plain dumb. Anyone can get their hands on a gun, but nuclear weapons are.....less available.

It's the same thing with the bombs used in attacks, they are often home made. You can't really make a homemade nuke.

IS somehow acquiring 'lost' WMDs, having the capacity and resources to ACTUALLY use them and smuggling them into the US is pretty much an impossible scenario.

Its ridiculous and I'll tell you why. Building a nuclear bomb takes many years, involves dozens of top scientists in that field and costs billions. Yes, they could steal one from somewhere like Pakistan but that would have to be either dismantled and re-assembled by a team of expert scientists who could take years to put it back together when it reached its destination or it would have to be transported complete and therefore easily detectable.

Why on earth would they go to all that trouble when they can easily make and let off a dirty bomb?

So a guy with phone cases stuck to him and bits of cloth got on a plane?

Alert the authorities.

So it's true! Latin is the preferred spoken tongue in those "secret societies" I've heard about .
