meebo me: Web IM

http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/...eebo-me-web-im/

 

meebo Inc. Extends its IM Platform; The meebo me widget Provides an Easy Way to Integrate IM into Websites, Enabling Embedded Web Communications Everywhere

http://home.businesswire.com/portal/site/g...amp;newsLang=en

 

meebo, the popular web-based Instant Messaging (IM) provider, today announced it has extended its IM communications platform beyond meebo.com and into any web page. meebo is a web-based instant messaging provider that allows users to access all of their IM buddies from any computer with a web browser. The company's new widget, meebo me, easily integrates the meebo instant messaging platform into numerous types of websites: social networking sites, blogs, commerce sites and more. The new meebo me widget has two main features -- it enables site-owners to privately chat with anyone visiting their website; and it offers real-time presence information for site-owners to see visitors to their page. meebo me is the first IM service to enable individuals to deeply embed IM everywhere throughout the web as well as enabling real-time web presence information to site owners. The meebo me widget has also been selected by WordPress.com to be bundled for their users. WordPress.com is a rapidly growing blogging service and meebo me enables WordPress users to integrate IM into their blogs with a single click. The company also released user statistics today. meebo has more than 700,000 daily logins, sends 45 million messages daily and has more than 2.5 million unique monthly visitors.

 

"Everything has moved to the web -- from commerce to productivity tools, to community -- all are done via a web browser. meebo is doing the same for IM," said Seth Sternberg, CEO and co-founder of meebo Inc. "With meebo me we are offering exciting new ways to connect with family, friends and customers."

 

meebo me -- IM Everywhere

 

meebo me is designed for anyone with a web page that wants to communicate with his or her users, visitors or community. Here is how meebo me works:

 

-- Simply go to www.meebome.com to create a meebo me widget (or widgets).

 

-- Copy and paste the automatically generated line of code into your web page or pages.

 

-- Log into meebo.com with your meebo account and as people visit your web pages, they will appear as new buddies on your buddylist, organized by widget name. As they come and go, your buddylist will update accordingly.

 

meebo me -- Your Visitors

 

-- A visitor to a web page with an embedded meebo me widget will automatically see a meebo IM window appear on the page with the site owner's online chat availability indicated.

 

-- Simply click on the IM window to start chatting.

 

-- Page visitors have the option of disabling the widget.

 

meebo me -- Inside meebo

 

-- An owner of a web page with an embedded meebo me widget will get live updates about people visiting their page.

 

-- If the owner names his or her widget "My Place", visitors will appear on the buddylist as new buddies, organized under the "My Place" buddy group. Furthermore, if a user has multiple widgets, new buddy groups will form accordingly, e.g. "My Place 1", "My Place 2", etc.

 

-- Users can browse their buddylist for page visitors and chat with any of them.

 

Ways to use meebo me:

 

meebo anticipates that some of the more popular uses of meebo me will include:

 

-- Social Networking sites: meebo me helps you communicate with all of your buddies and see who's looking at your profile, without needing to be logged into your profile page.

 

-- Bloggers: meebo me adds another dimension of communication beyond what's available today. meebo me enables real-time conversations to exist between readers and bloggers. Popular bloggers may choose to use meebo me like office hours - specifying times when they plan to be online and open to initiating an IM conversation.

 

-- Small businesses: meebo me can help small businesses with high-touch customer service. Small business owners can help customers by reacting in real-time to web site inquiries.

 

-- Ecommerce sites: meebo me enables buyers and sellers to engage in real-time question/answer sessions that could help facilitate transactions.

 

"We are really excited about extending meebo and helping our users connect more with their communities," said Elaine Wherry, co-founder and front-end engineer, meebo Inc. "When we founded meebo, our first goal was to create the best web-based IM for our users. Based on user-feedback and user-adoption, we feel we've accomplished that. Now as we enter the next phase of meebo, we want to harness the power of web-based IM to enable communication everywhere. Anytime you need to IM someone, all you have to do is visit their web page. With meebo me, no more downloads, no need to remember buddy names."

 

meebo and the meebo me widget work with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and almost any web browser. The meebo me service is free. For more information visit www.meebome.com.

Black Hat Takes Vista to Task

http://www.internetnews.com/security/article.php/3624861

 

LAS VEGAS -- Microsoft spent a whole day here at the Black Hat conference extolling the security enhancements in its upcoming Vista operating system.

 

Joanna Rutkowska, a security researcher with security firm Coseinc, spent a day picking it apart.

 

Then again, what else would you expect from a session at a hacker convention titled: "Subverting Vista Kernel For Fun And Profit"?

 

Rutkowska took the stage in front of a capacity audience and proceeded to explain how to get around Vista.

 

She demonstrated two potential attack vectors. One could allow unsigned code to be loaded into the Vista kernel. The second vector involved taking advantage of AMD's Pacific Hardware Virtualization to inject a new form of super malware that Rutkowska claimed to be undetectable.

 

Rutkowska's Vista kernel attack did not rely on any known bugs in Vista, which is still in beta testing. She stressed that her demonstration did not rely on any implementation bug nor any undocumented Windows Vista functionality.

 

She characterized her approaches as "legal," using documented SDK (define) features.

 

One of the new features in Vista Beta 2 is that it requires all kernel mode drivers to be signed. The general idea is to prevent malware from being injected. Rutkowska's effort suggested that Microsoft still has some work to do on this feature.

 

Rutkowska's method for injecting unsigned (and therefore potentially malicious) drivers into the Vista kernel involved taking advantage of paged memory to bypass Vista security.

 

In her demo, the shellcode used disabled signature checking, thus allowing any unsigned driver to be subsequently loaded. Taking her attack a step further, she implemented a one-click tool, which she called "Kernelstike" to execute her Vista kernel exploit.

 

Call it fresh meat for sharks: The audience erupted into spontaneous applause, followed by whoops and woo-hoos throughout her demonstration.

 

"The fact that this mechanism was bypassed doesn't mean Vista is insecure. It just means it's just not as secure as advertised," Rutkowska said.

 

Rutkowska brought suggestions that could potentially prevent the subversion of the Vista kernel. One of them involves denying raw disk access from usermode, though she said that approach would likely break many applications.

 

Rutkowska said she disabled kernel memory paging on her own machine and is just using physical memory instead. She did admit, however, that her machine had 4 GB of RAM and as such paging makes little sense.

 

Rutkowska also demonstrated a new form of super malware that she said she could use against Vista. The attack involved compromising chipmaker AMD's 64 SVM hardware virtualization features with a tool she called "Blue Pill."

 

It creates a hypervisor that can control the operating system. A network backdoor can then be inserted onto a compromised Blue Pill machine. Rutkowska developed such a backdoor. She named it "Delusion." She said it was undetectable.

 

When she connected to it, the remote shell on the compromised Blue Pill machine greeted Rutkowska with the following response: "Hi this is Delusion. Where do you want to go today?"

Holographic storage a reality before the end of the year

http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060804-7424.html

 

Excerpt:

Still, the real money lies in coming up with a product that can be sold in the mass market. With that in mind, InPhase and Hitachi Maxell have been discussing what form a consumer version of the technology might take. One possibility that has been mentioned is a disc around the size of a postage stamp, which would probably hold about 75-100GB.

AOL Proudly Releases Massive Amounts of Private Data

http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/08/06/aol-p...er-search-data/

 

 

Update: Sometime around 7 pm PST on Sunday, the AOL site referred to below was taken down. The direct link to the data is still live.

 

AOL must have missed the uproar over the DOJ’s demand for “anonymized” search data last year that caused all sorts of pain for Microsoft and Google. That’s the only way to explain their release of data that includes 20 million web queries from 650,000 AOL users.

 

The data includes all searches from those users for a three month period this year, as well as whether they clicked on a result, what that result was and where it appeared on the result page. It’s a 439 MB compressed download, expanded to just over 2 gigs. The data is available here (this link is directly to the file) and the output is in ten text files, tab delineated.

 

The utter stupidity of this is staggering. AOL has released very private data about its users without their permission. While the AOL username has been changed to a random ID number, the ability to analyze all searches by a single user will often lead people to easily determine who the user is, and what they are up to. The data includes personal names, addresses, social security numbers and everything else someone might type into a search box.

 

The most serious problem is the fact that many people often search on their own name, or those of their friends and family, to see what information is available about them on the net. Combine these ego searches with porn queries and you have a serious embarrassment. Combine them with “buy ecstasy” and you have evidence of a crime. Combine it with an address, social security number, etc., and you have an identity theft waiting to happen. The possibilities are endless.

 

Marketers are going nuts over the possibilities, users are calling for a boycott of AOL, and others are just enraged:

 

User 491577 searches for “florida cna pca lakeland tampa”, “emt school training florida”, “low calorie meals”, “infant seat”, and “fisher price roller blades”. Among user 39509’s hundreds of searches are: “ford 352″, “oklahoma disciplined pastors”, “oklahoma disciplined doctors”, “home loans”, and some other personally identifying and illegal stuff I’m going to leave out of here. Among user 545605’s searches are “shore hills park mays landing nj”, “frank william sindoni md”, “ceramic ashtrays”, “transfer money to china”, and “capital gains on sale of house”. Compared to some of the data, these examples are on the safe side. I’m leaving out the worst of it - searches for names of specific people, addresses, telephone numbers, illegal drugs, and more. There is no question that law enforcement, employers, or friends could figure out who some of these people are.

 

I am assuming that AOL will take this page and the data down soon, but as of the time of this post it has been downloaded 809 times already. People I’ve spoken with are already building a web interface to the data. If you are an AOL customer, I feel sorry for you.

 

Note that Microsoft has proposed releasing similar data to researchers, although with an important difference - the data is not associated with a user. Excite released data very similar to what AOL has done here, with user associations, in 1999.

AOL Just Did the Unthinkable - Boycott AOL?

http://www.zoliblog.com/blog/_archives/2006/8/6/2204969.html

 

 

EXCERPT:

1. Zoli estimates maybe 1,500-2,000 downloads by the time AOL woke up to what they’d done. What’s the real number?

2. How long was the file in the wild?

3. Could illicit copies end up on eBay?

4. Could market data derived from the file end up on eBay or as part of a market intelligence offering? Almost certainly the second if not the first.

5. What will be the impact on AOLs stock price?

6. Might shorters speculate on the impact?

7. What about a class action lawsuit? For once I think there are decent grounds for one of the ambulance chasers to send out its hit squad - they may even get what they need from the file

8. Will AOL be able to track who got the file?

9. What is the potential for wholesale identity theft among those 650,000 AOL users?

 

OUCH, DAMMIT!!!!

EBay Scammers Up The Ante

http://www.securitypronews.com/news/securi...sUpTheAnte.html

 

I am surprised that there are so many new scams on eBay these days. It seems that everyday I get at least one or two new invitations to fork over my userid, password or credit card info.

 

It is as if the scammers think that I actually am that stupid. Well, as my husband is fond of saying, "I may have been born yesterday... but I was up all night". There is very little that you can get past me now as far as an eBay scam goes. But recently I was caught in a very subtle scam that was very clever.

 

It was designed to, of course get information from me that I did not want anyone to get. I was sent a message that appeared to come from someone with whom I was involved in a transaction.

 

The message had the distinctive look of an eBay email message with the yellow "RESPOND HERE" button off to the right. The message was very cryptic, which I later realized was designed to be evocative and get me to click on the response button. The message merely said "I've sent the payment through Paypal when are you going to ship my item?" it included a link with the item number.

 

I clicked on the item number thinking that it would take me to the eBay item that I was selling, which the buyer had paid for and was waiting to be shipped.

 

Instead I was taken to an eBay sign-in screen, which seemed a little different but I went ahead and signed in using my eBay sign-in id and password.

 

I went on from there to research the item the buyer was looking for.

 

The next morning I awoke and went to check my auction and saw that in addition to the items I was legitimately selling on eBay, was an auction for a Porsche. It looked as if this Porsche was an auction that I was running. I immediately contacted eBay and they were able to determine that the auction was fraudulent. They promptly cancelled the auction.

 

I was told, by the eBay Customer Service rep, that there would be less likelihood that this kind of hijacking of my account, could occur if I were to use the eBay Toolbar. The eBay toolbar is a piece of software that you download and attach to your browser which has security included with it that makes it more difficult for someone send a message through that looks like it's from eBay when it's not.

 

I may in the future download it, but I currently have 3 toolbars on the top of my browser, and really don't want another level of "protection" up there right now. I am still shaking my head over my naiveté. I consider myself a real eBay professional, after all I have been trading on the site for well over 5 years, so getting caught by a scammer was a real surprise.

 

It really showed me that the hackers and the scammers always bring their "A Game"...everyday; I better be sure and bring mine.

The Unmaking of a Senator: How Bloggers Pulled It Off

With Lieberman's primary loss, the netroots movement has established itself as a power center among Democrats. But will its influence haunt the party in November?

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,...00.html?cnn=yes

 

Posted Wednesday, Aug. 09, 2006

Now that it has played a major role in helping to defeat Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut Senate primary Tuesday, the Netroots' moment has finally arrived.

 

The much-hyped Internet activists of the Howard Dean presidential campaign, liberal blogs like Daily Kos and activist groups like MoveOn.org had generated lots of buzz, but few results at the ballot box until now. But in Tuesday's Democratic primary, the bloggers didn’t just get a win, but a victory no one could have expected even four months ago. Joe Lieberman wasn't just a three-term Connecticut Senator, he was only a few thousand votes from being the vice-president in a Democratic administration six years ago. And despite almost the entire Democratic establishment supporting his run against a virtually unknown businessman named Ned Lamont, including former President Clinton campaigning for him in Connecticut, the bloggers and Connecticut voters have essentially kicked Joe Lieberman out of the Democratic Party.

 

Even Lamont admitted that while he decided to enter the race himself, the blogs had long been hoping someone in Connecticut would take on Lieberman, and their support was crucial early in getting the word of his candidacy out. Markos Moulitas of Daily Kos appeared in one of his early ads, former blogger and Internet organizer Tim Tagaris left his job at the Democratic National Committee to work on Lamont’s campaign and bloggers from the site mydd.com headed up to Connecticut over the last several days to call voters and encourage them to support Lamont. And MoveOn.org strongly supported Lamont despite pleas from Democratic leaders not to.

 

Still, as the bloggers themselves admit, Lamont's victory was about far more than them. Lieberman's fervent support for the Iraq War, and his attacks on many of his party who opposed President Bush's policy there, annoyed Connecticut voters as much as bloggers. Also, aside from the war, Lieberman suffered from a feeling among many voters there that he was taking the state for granted, and liberals in the blue state were frustrated by his positions on other issues, such as his support for school vouchers. The bloggers and their supporters pumped a few thousand dollars into the race, but having a millionaire candidate like Lamont pour $4 million of his own money was crucial. Lamont's campaign manager, Tow Swan, is a veteran Connecticut political operative who helped run the strong turnout operation that helped propel Lamont to victory.

 

And the victory for the Netroots may not be complete. Lieberman has said that he will run as an independent and he'll have some momentum going into that race: polls last week showed Lamont up by as much as 12 and Lieberman closed that gap to only four points. Lieberman officials already created a new rationale for seeking another run at the Senate by accusing Lamont supporters of crashing Lieberman’s website on Election Day. While a blue state, Connecticut has more independent than Democrat voters, so Lieberman's support among moderates in both parties could help him keep the seat. But it will be difficult for him, particularly with much of the Democratic establishment who backed him saying they will support Lamont now that he has won the primary.

 

Either way, this primary win means the "Netroots" now must be treated by Democratic leaders and politicians like the party’s other major power centers — pro-abortion rights groups, African-Americans and unions. There were signs before this race that the bloggers were already gaining respect. A bunch of presidential candidates showed up to the Daily Kos convention in June. Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid and other top party officials now have regular strategy meetings with MoveOn.org. And in recent weeks, Hillary Clinton has hired a blog outreach adviser and called for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation, two moves that could help her win the favor of the liberal activists if she decides to run for the Democratic presidential nomination next year. Now that the Netroots power has been cemented, any Democratic presidential candidate will have to consider how to woo these Internet activists — or at least keep them from hating him or her.

 

But while it may empower the bloggers, Republicans are predicting Lieberman's defeat will actually help them keep control of Congress this November — and many Democrats have the same worry. Lamont's victory will no doubt give Republicans ammunition to caricature the Democratic Party as too liberal.

 

Mary Matalin, an outside adviser to the White House, signaled the message when she said on Fox News Channel shortly after the polls closed: "MoveOn is not fringe. They're the heart of the party." One House Democratic official said party members had been "urgently trying to send the message to Connecticut voters that a Lieberman loss jeopardizes our ability to take back the House." Some Democratic officials said they can already imagine the ads in November races saying that Lieberman, once within a few hundred votes of being Vice President of the United States, is now "not liberal enough" for the Democratic Party.

 

On the other hand, Lamont's campaign strategy wasn't particularly different from the one Democrats are using all over the country against Republicans in every other race: he attacked Lieberman for his embrace of Bush’s Iraq policy and more generally of being too supportive of Bush. Lamont's victory also suggests there’s an anti-incumbent mood in Connecticut, which could spell trouble for the three House Republicans there.

 

But for now, this race sends one clear overriding message: in a liberal state like Connecticut, Democratic candidates defy the Netroots, who are here to stay, at their own peril.

Court rules against man in porn-at-work case

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060809/od_nm/porn_privacy_dc_1

 

Wed Aug 9, 7:35 AM ET

 

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A Montana man who used his work computer to access child pornography does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy that would bar a search of the machine, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.

 

Jeffrey Ziegler had argued that his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures should prevent the government from using evidence that he had viewed many images of child pornography at work.

 

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals based in San Francisco cited similar past cases and found that even if some people lament the lack of privacy at work, the law was against Ziegler.

 

"Social norms suggest that employees are not entitled to privacy in the use of workplace computers, which belong to their employers and pose significant dangers in terms of diminished productivity and even employer liability," Diarmuid O'Scannlain wrote for a three-judge panel.

 

"Employer monitoring is largely an assumed practice, and thus we think a disseminated computer-use policy is entirely sufficient to defeat any expectation that an employee might nonetheless harbor."

Search Bloggers: PR or unPR?

http://www.micropersuasion.com/2006/08/search_bloggers.html

 

Blogging for the search engines

http://battellemedia.com/archives/002802.php

 

Blogging for the search engines

 

As the search engine space grows and companies proliferate, bloggers within the engines are becoming an important human voice and point of contact for the public, competitors, and SEOs. At the Search Engine Strategies conference in San Jose this morning, Danny Sullivan hosted a panel with Matt Cutts from Google, Jeremy Zawodny from Yahoo!, Niall Kennedy from MSN, and Gary Price from Ask. Here are some of the views they shared on 'Speaking unofficially as search engine bloggers':

 

On keeping perspective:

Gary says he tries to walk the middle ground, blogging about MSN, Yahoo, and Google more than Ask—and the company encourages him to do so. All four say don’t let the PR department hinder them, though they sometimes give PR a heads-up. Also, though they write with independent voices, letting the company know a critical post is coming out will sometimes solicit more candid company updates. Gary says he tries to make Resource Shelf all things to all people—for the search companies, the SES crowd and library/reference professionals.

 

When company bloggers are the news:

Danny Sullivan asks if they avoid press coverage. Cutts says he just tries to be so monumentally boring and technical that the media won’t cover it, and says he’s been largely successful (though this editor disagrees that engagement quality is the cause). Zawodny says he keeps a news alert on his name, so he can sigh deeply every time a reporter attributes his comments in a Yahoo exposé. Kennedy says his blog has become one more end-point in a 72 million person company—helping people with specific needs connect with the company.

 

Are they PR guys?

Matt and Gary say no—Matt uses non-Google products (wordpress not blogger, etc) and Gary’s post up today is a positive piece on Google. While Matt says Zawodny is ballsy for listing out failures of Yahoo Finance, Jeremy follows up that indeed in some sense he is a PR guy. Once he let it slip that he hadn’t gone through media training, within a week that’s where he found himself.

“My exercise in figuring out where the line was repeatedly crossing it and then be told that I crossed it. Lawyers have come into my office three times.”— Zawodny.

 

Syndication

Price says weekly emails are still crucial to distributing blog content, aside from an RSS feed—which is rising but still not familiar to the larger audience. Zawodny likes to schedule postings – rattling-off a few and letting posts distribute automatically.

Gary, self-described as not the biggest fan of RSS syndication, says Ask is now playing with displaying the last three updated posts from a related feed above the organic results. Zawodny says he likes the feature and has been using it.

 

Vlogs, Podcasts

“You can write for 45 min. and say what does and doesn’t work. Or you can talk for five minutes and if you’re lucky someone will transcribe it for you,” says Cutts on the advantage of video (in reference to his recent foray with vlogging). He says there have been 80,000 downloads of Cutts’ random SES video Matt did on a weekend while the wife was away, but he’ll primarily stick with his blog.

Gary says Jim Lazone and he are going to start a podcast. Perhaps one aimed at the SES crowd, and another at the K-12 crowd who need so much help in familiarizing wtih search.

Agent infiltrated terror cell, U.S. says

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/08/10/us.security/index.html

 

Passengers can expect double screening

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060811/ap_on_...r_plot_security

 

WASHINGTON - Beginning Friday, airline passengers will go through double screening to make sure they're not carrying liquids onto planes, the head of the airline industry's largest trade group said.

 

Passengers and their carry-on luggage will be checked not only at the main security checkpoint, but also a second time at the boarding gate. The stepped-up screening in response to a new terrorist threat began Thursday at 25 airports where planes leave for Britain.

 

"It's going to spread across the whole system tomorrow," James May, president of the Air Transport Association, said Thursday.

 

The response to the terrorist threat produced long lines at airports Thursday as security officials scrambled to put new measures in place and passengers faced perplexing new restrictions — including the ban on carrying liquids onto aircraft.

 

Intelligence had indicated the terror plot unfolding in Britain involved using benign liquids that could be mixed inside an airplane cabin to make an explosive.

 

While plots to blow up airliners using liquid explosives are nothing new — such an attempt was foiled more than a decade ago — the government has been slow to upgrade its security equipment at airport checkpoints so that it can detect explosives on passengers.

 

Transportation Security Administration chief Kip Hawley said the need to tighten security came as a surprise and the changes were difficult to implement.

 

"It normally takes us about four weeks to roll out a change at a security checkpoint, and this one came about in a little bit more than four hours in the middle of last night," Hawley said.

 

Duane Woerth, president of the

Air Line Pilots Association, said the government was overreacting. "They paralyzed the system with the hassle factor again," Woerth said.

 

During the first few hours of the alert, the

TSA was taking toiletries away from flight crews, he said. "Then they said, 'This is stupid. We're taking toothpaste away from the guy who's going to fly the plane.' It didn't take them long to back down."

 

But Frank Cilluffo, director of the

Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, said it makes sense to insert "uncertainty and randomness into the system so we can't let the adversary game the system."

 

Still, he said, coordination among agencies and the industry remains a problem.

 

Denis Breslin, spokesman for the American Airlines pilots union, faulted nagging communication shortcomings among intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security agencies.

 

"There's a whole lot of people making rules up right now, and until they get it all sorted out, every passenger is going to have to go through the nightmarish procedures that they're putting together right now," said Breslin.

 

David Mackett, a pilot who heads the Airline Pilots Security Alliance, said flight crews are treated as part of the problem.

 

"We're not happy that every time there's a threat we find out from the media, and that there's almost a complete vacuum of information when it comes to the air crews," Mackett said.

 

It was after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that box cutters and other sharp objects were banned, bulletproof cockpit doors installed and air marshals rushed into service.

 

And it was after Richard Reid, the confessed shoe bomber, tried to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight in December 2001 that security officials made passengers remove their shoes. Lighters were later banned from passenger cabins.

 

Members of Congress have for several years criticized the TSA for using 1970s-era X-ray technology to screen carry-on bags at security checkpoints.

 

Rafi Ron, former head of security at

Israel's Ben Gurion Airport and now a security consultant in Washington, said part of the problem is that terrorists always try to exploit new vulnerabilities.

 

"Weapons and explosives are various and you can expect new types of weapons as well as tactics," Ron said.

 

Douglas Laird, an aviation security expert and former security chief for Northwest Airlines, said the plot described Thursday resembled a 1994-1995 attempt, codenamed "Bojinka," to blow up a dozen airliners simultaneously over the Pacific Ocean using liquid explosives smuggled onto planes in bottles of contact lens solution.

Liquid explosives threaten air travel

http://news.com.com/2100-7348_3-6104475.ht...5&subj=news

 

Air travelers leaving the United Kingdom on Thursday faced the strictest security measures in years: iPods, cellular phones, laptops, and even books and magazines were no longer permitted as carry-on items.

 

In a series of public statements, government officials in London and Washington blamed the new restrictions on a terrorist plot to blow up transatlantic airliners, which has led to at least 24 arrests.

 

"The terrorists' aim was to smuggle explosives onto aeroplanes in hand luggage and to detonate these in flight," Paul Stephenson, Scotland Yard's deputy commissioner, told reporters.

 

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff added later in the day that the alleged plotters "planned to carry the components of the bombs, including liquid explosive ingredients and detonating devices, disguised as beverages, electronic devices or other common objects."

 

Liquid and gel explosives are hardly new, of course. Inventor and industrialist Alfred Nobel began manufacturing nitroglycerin in 1865 in the suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden, calling the explosive mixture by the brand name "blasting oil." Later, Nobel found that if nitroglycerin were diluted with nitrocellulose, it became a more stable, glutinous substance he dubbed "blasting gelatine."

 

Terrorists have used liquid explosives before, with mixed results.

 

Ramzi Yousef, who was involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, concocted a plan a year later to attack 11 flights traveling from central Asia to the United States. The plot was uncovered in the Philippines in January 1995, two weeks before its execution date, after Yousef and others accidentally started a fire in their apartment and police showed up.

 

Before he was arrested, Yousef did a trial run with a lower-power bomb. He assembled it in the lavatory of a flight from Manila to Japan and left it on board after he departed on a connecting flight. The bomb exploded, but the Boeing 747 limped to an emergency landing with only one casualty.

 

Documents found on Yousef's computer that emerged during his trial (Click here for PDF) showed that the plotters had filled bottles of contact lens solution with nitroglycerin and planned to use Casio digital watches as the timers, coupled with two 9-volt batteries in the bomb as a power source. The 9/11 Commission's report said Yousef also had prepared dolls wearing clothes containing nitrocellulose, an explosive compound.

 

That kind of stealth explosive seems to be what provoked the dramatic reactions by Homeland Security and other officials on Thursday. Some reports said the plotters would conceal their peroxide-based explosives in a sports drink and detonate it with a disposable camera's flash. Others said, however, that the bomb would be "detonated by using heat or friction."

 

"Travelers are going to be inconvenienced as a result of the steps we've taken," President Bush said while traveling in Wisconsin. "I urge their patience and ask them to be vigilant. The inconvenience...occurs because we will take the steps necessary to protect the American people."

 

Air travelers flying inside the U.S. are still permitted to bring laptops and electronic devices as carry-on items, though both U.K. and U.S. passengers were generally prohibited from bringing liquids or gels into the passenger cabin.

 

Nitroglycerin may be one of the easier liquid explosives to create in a rudimentary laboratory, but it's not the only one that could be employed by bomb makers. Other candidates are nitromethane (sometimes used as a cleaning solvent), dithekite, nitroethane, and methyl nitrate (derived from nitric acid). Fixor is a commercial two-component explosive, based on a flammable liquid that's designed to replace plastic explosives, but one which requires a detonator cap.

 

Saboteurs are believed to have used liquid explosives smuggled on board in a bottle of alcohol to attack Korean Air flight 858 in 1987. The bomb, apparently left on board by passengers who deplaned, killed 115 people and has been attributed to North Korean agents.

 

Because conventional X-ray machines used at airport security checkpoints can't reliably differentiate between innocuous beverages and liquid explosives, the explosives are difficult to detect.

 

A report last year from Congress' research arm says that chemical traces often can be detected through screening devices at airports that use puffs of air to dislodge debris, but warned that the "portals" already in use at some airports are expensive and slow.

 

In addition, the report said, "novel explosive materials will probably not be detected by these systems." Also, if a bomber takes proper precautions, such as carefully sealing containers and not wearing contaminated clothes, those screening devices may not help.
