I was just there a month ago.

Had to be an inside job. Security for arriving passengers was tight.

3. There was a lot of construction going on at the international terminal.

Could have been a contract worker, or just someone assisted by a cleared employee.

5. Other possibility is that the explosives could have been recovered from incoming luggage...
and then strapped on.

But, all international arriving passengers go through full body scanners.
