Brussels Bombings May
Represent New Wave of
Terrorism
Terrorism may also have happened at metro
station Brussels airport explosion: Terror attack? The
Brussels Airport bombings today may represent a new
wave and form of terrorist attack: Killing and maiming as
many air travelers as possible in major airports with
multiple bombs.
After 9/11/2001 major airports in the US and elsewhere had
National Guard and some bomb detection installed for
airport perimeters. Both those protections have been taken
down and terrorists can now enter airports with bombs
without much likelihood of detection.
While aviation security has made bombing or hijacking of
airliners much more difficult, airport security is generally
wide open. This needs to be tightened with perimeter bomb
and weapons detection or else more airport bombings are
likely to follow. Every new type of successful terrorist attack
in history always generates copycat attacks until effective
counter measures are put in place.
