Terrorists remain stubbornly fixated on targeting airplanes and creating better bombs, the Indiana Business Journal reports.
Although it has been 13 years since a successful terrorist attack – the Sept. 11, 2011 – terrorists seem committed to bombing a plane, said John Pistole, the departing head of the TSA.
“The threats continue,” Pistole, 58, said in an interview at the agency’s Arlington, VA, office. “They are persistent. The terrorists are innovative in their design, construction and concealment of devices.”
During Pistole’s four-year tenure, authorities have thwarted to attacks on planes.
