US Warns Airlines About Toothpaste Tube Bomb
http://wreg.com/2014/02/05/us-warns-airlines-about-toothpaste-tube-bomb/
(Washington, D.C.) The Department of Homeland Security is warning U.S. and some foreign airlines traveling to Russia for the Olympic Games to be on the lookout for toothpaste containers.

There is reportedly intelligence indicating the toothpaste containers may hold ingredients used to build a bomb on a plane.

An official with the Department of Homeland Security, while declining to discuss the specific warning, told CBS News the department “regularly shares relevant information with domestic and international partners, including those associated with international events such as the Sochi Olympics.”

“While we are not aware of a specific threat to the homeland at this time, this routine communication is an important part of our commitment to making sure we meet that priority,” the official said. “As always, our security apparatus includes a number of measures, both seen and unseen, and DHS will continue to adjust security measures to fit an ever evolving threat environment.”

more. I guess I should be less cynical, but I'm not.
