    US warns of explosives in toothpaste tubes

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Homeland Security Department is warning airlines flying to Russia that terrorists may try to smuggle explosives on board hidden in toothpaste tubes.

    The threat was passed onto airlines that have direct flights to Russia, including some that originate in the United States, according to a law enforcement official speaking Wednesday on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the warning.

    The official said the airlines were warned that explosive devices could be assembled in flight or upon arrival at the Olympics.

    The department said in a statement that the U.S. "isn't aware of a specific threat to the homeland at this time." It said the department "regularly shares information with domestic and international partners, including those associated with international events such as the Sochi Olympics."

    Delta Airlines is the only U.S. carrier with a direct flight from the United States to Moscow. Russian airlines Aeroflot and Transaero both operate several nonstop flights from the U.S.

    United Airlines, the official airline of the U.S. Olympic team, does not have scheduled service to Russia but is operating some charter flights to Sochi.
    The warning became public on the eve of the Winter Olympics.

    Now to me that sounds like the biggest load of crap ever, if they had/have such information why not let all the airlines flying to Russia know quietly, let the intelligence services of any country that flies to Russia know quietly and be prepared, instead of some sort of mind game with Russia firstly, and travellers already a little nervous over the recent bombings.

    Maybe now that the "terrorists" know the toothpaste plot is out the window, they'll have a couple of days to think up a new plot..........

    Maybe they'll roll the plastic explosives into little balls, stick them together in a log shape, squeez them together a little tighter, and stick them up their arses...........!

    They'll easily pass through the scanners and just say their bursting for a sh1t if questioned.......simple.

    This is nothing more than the US throwing a spanner in the works and upsetting Putin and Co.
