Terrorists Practicing To Carry Explosives On Airlines
 
Airport security officers around the nation have been alerted by federal officials to look out for terrorists practicing to carry explosive components onto aircraft, based on four curious seizures at airports since last September.

Why do terrorists want to blow up airplanes? Surely there are easier targets with just as many casualties.

I would think that depends on where the airplane is when it blows up and how much fuel is inside. Parked at the gate full of fuel, I can picture a chain reaction that could take out quite a few jetliners like dominos.
