The government hasn't addressed this possibility at all because they are too busy reacting to some DB who put some chemicals in his shoe.
That's the fundamental problem with the TSA..........run amok preventing a possibility that has a 1:100000000 chance of occurring.

So true. We used to train to do this at Bragg. So very effective. A few seconds and you're gone. A team of 5 single man Grail or Stinger fireers would completely shut down a major airport and be gone before the cops could get them. Hit probability would be 4 of 5.
