that s what is making perhaps a bit easier to get through security screenings. western passports, united states passports and like that. that s a lot of big concern there. when we talk about some of the details we are hearing a little bit about electronic devices that are getting extra scrutiny. can you elaborate or explain why? well, yes. remember that the last two incidents had to do with not exactly new types of explosives but new tactics to hide the explosives. one being a computer cartridge that obviously the underwear bomber before that shoe bomber. you are seeing that that new tactics, hide gels and liquids, dunking clothing in the explosives, the tactics are at least as as important the new tactics are as new compound of ex-pleasives. can i ask you, when you are talking about shoes, laptop
