I haven't checked the news online today so I don't know if the potential suicide bomber was affiliated with a group. Anyone who boards a flight without checking luggage, especially a long overseas flight, should warrant suspicion by authorities. Perhaps it will be necessary to use bomb sniffing dogs at airport security checks. The military used dogs to sniff out bombs in Afghanistan. In the past, when we've arrived home from long overseas flights, dogs showed up at the point where we were to collect our luggage. I think they might have been used to sniff out agriculture products, but I am not sure. You've cleared immigration. You are dead on your feet after a 10 to 16 hour flight and, all of a sudden, a friendly dog with tail wagging rushes up to greet you. It was such a surprise. I was never able to pet one but it was a treat to have a dog meet you in the baggage claim area. At least, the dog woke you up!
