Bombproof Liner Tested in Commercial Airplanes

It's taken a very long time for this development to come to fruition. There was a lot of discussion about some sort of blastproofing for the cargo containers after Lockerbie (Pan AM 103).

It's a nice idea. Containing a troublesome passenger inside something like that seems overkill unless they're wearing some sort of bomb.

The thing to remember is gases can penetrate fabric. If such a miscreant (it's HN, so I won't give my usual description) came aboard wearing a bomb with a chemical agent underneath it could leave the crew with a big surprise.
