Your questions on the cargo bomb plot

| Monday, 11 Nov. 2010 | 18:06 - 19:00 GMT

More details on the cargo bomb plot have unfolded over the weekend but there are still so many questions. Today we'll be taking your questions for experts on the situation.

Here's a couple of questions that have come in already.

Berit in Norway posted on our Facebook page:

Looks like there are just a handful countries who we have good reason to fear now. To be careful and put a pressure on those, might it be an idea to ban cargo from these countries?
Gerry The Comedian posted

Will any review be conducted on existing practices to assuage public fears?
What do you want to know? And who would you like to hear from? Post below and we'll try make it happen on Monday.

    Nels emails - Something very dodgy about the narrative about the reported cargo air bombs. Maybe there will be additional information that will become more persuasive. What explosive can dogs NOT sniff?

    Yvonne on Facebook - Kind of ironic that this all happened just after the comments made inn the UK that airport/airline security was too tight and needed to be relaxed...

    Felix on Facebook - Listening to the programme i get sick when some people of the panel are trying to say the root cause of this cargo bomb or terrorism is as a result of foreign policies. they are justifying terrorism

    Peter Boyle emailed - There is no realistic way to secure bulk air transport. I strongly suspect that this was done to 'kick' the U.S. and England without raising any strong backlash. 'Look what we could do if we wanted to.'

    Migliore on Facebook - 大象传媒 World News and WHYS should really consider addressing the root causes of these attempts to do harm in Western nations? I would welcome more, if 大象传媒 were to present as the topic, 'the why and how?'

    Usman on Facebook - I have been thinking where is it going to end, and I have got a headache.

    Danny on Facebook - Any idea on what components are needed to detect and locate radar if one of your neighbors decided to "blast" you out of your apartment or house with microwaves?

    Okey on Facebook - My question is that, whether this cargo bomb issue is becoming, another form of attack by the tourist?

    I鈥檓 said in Kenya and in my view alqaeda can be defeated if the western world becomes justice by by first bringing bush to court for the lost of the million lives in Iraq. World criminal court is nothing if it can鈥檛 prosecute bush. Western media should also stop propaganda against Islam.

    Hamis in Nigeria - The West need to look into the root causes for terrorism. I think that the Americans and the West need to have a more positive approach to Islam more generally, it is the only way that this issue will be solved.

    Agata in Germany - We have overreacted to this bomb scare, there has been too much reaction. There needs to be more understanding of why these bomb scares happen.

    On the issue of over-reacting, almost all Baghdad鈥檚 roads are being blocked and yet terrorist attacks do still happen. Lubna

    Does theresa may鈥檚 announcement today about the restriction of ink cartredges highlight any flaws in targeted approaches to airline security-such as thebanning of liquids?

    John in Singapore on Facebook - These efforts against Al Qaeda will just go on and on. They will just pop their head from different bases, first Afghanistan, next Pakistan, next Yemen, and possible next Somalia, etc

    Tamar on the blog - What kind of changes need to be made to foreign policy that would change the terrorist action in the world?

    Hi. My Q. is : Can we defeat terrorism without solving the issues the terrorists use as an excuse to recruit volunteers? Lubna

    Allison on Facebook - Has anyone wondered if there was going to be a person in Chicago with the cell phone to detonate the bomb?

    Alan in Arizona on the blog - You have to wonder how important the cause is for some of these terrorists. The individual that gave the tip about the bomb plot did it so he could return home. We have to wonder, if most of these people would really be aggressive is this way, if they had normal jobs and life styles. Is this just an outlet for their personal frustrations, due to their inadequacies?

    Usmam on Facebook - The amount of cargo that moves between countries on a daily basis is so huge that it is impossible to screen each and every package. There are just too many countries and too many loose ends.

    Michael on Facebook - Anyone who has paid attention to security has known that airline freight and shipping freight is not secure.
