This video has English subtitles, and it fully explains how simple it is to be able to carry aboard the types of things that can take an entire airplane down.

Even when the individual is put through the scanner.

Note: to activate the German to English subtitles, you need to copy and paste the URL and then once at YouTube site, on the right hand bottom corner of the video, hit the tiny "CC" button.

1. This is such an important vid to watch.
Made in Germany, of course it would not be made HERE.
A GIANT pin the fake balloon of TSA "security".

2. I recommend getting it with the English sub-titles for English speaking viewers. Well worth it.
The thought crossed my mind that this might be yanked.

To repeat - cut and paste the youtube url and click cc on the bottom right bar of the youtube screen after the youtube loads.

3. I wasn't sure what to expect but it is VERY much worth watching, but WITH the subtitles!

5. Right you are. That is why I put the instructions in bold,
And I have no idea why the video didn't carry over from YouTube with the subtitles, so those wishing to view it didn't have the aggravation of having to goof around with it.

6. BTW, the moment it clicked what was going on for me was when the very large man...
...started to pull all of the hidden stuff out. Up to that point I actually thought he was part of the company selling the machines/service. My jaw dropped when he pulled out the thermite. Kudos, incredible kudos, to him for actually showing what that shit can do.

The very tragedy that brought about all this "Homeland Security" nonsense.

When someone can explain how two buildings fell at almost the rate of gravity inside their own footprint, I will be glad to change my opinion on that.

8. The first english in the video "you can not defeat terrorism with a scanner", says it all,

you can only act terrorized. I refuse to live in terror. I have a much more significant chance of dying from choking on gum, at the hands of a drunk driver, staph infections, or industrial pollution than by terrorists with or without scanning.
