Popular in TV but also popular genuine tactics from the jury sent us -- what does this technology that -- -- trying it in this trip so -- additionally more than forty vendors involved so he kind of technology that's tried and -- brings them most recent iterations of popular technology say.
Pepper balls are really popular when I don't know if you've come across that I have unfortunately -- Well our viewers are hundreds and if he thought was recently to that if -- -- the concept is as small plastic ball insert sheet someone with it.
And I you can fill in training exercises -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- He had to deal with him later assessment of the technologies they tried another one and it's.
Our viewers enjoy is the -- needs to -- trying to diversionary and distraction tactics devices are very popular.
These students are popping smoke these sorts of things it we've -- -- in TV shows.

Yes yes actually do that's one of my favorite projects and try to keep an Diana I'm not sure if viewers referring -- there's a Homeland Security project that's been in the pipeline for a couple years now.
Kind of a despite -- web and and just pointed him for -- got as far as I'm like but that is the concept that it would be sort of a nonlethal -- -- Castro ever you know suspects in -- -- situation.
And you -- sort of apprehend them.
In -- you and then nonlethal sort of -- them.
Intrinsic I want got you here let's move on to other technologies we had this the year old aware obviously of this -- ball ball that was.
-- -- -- prevented from actually being carried -- this week.
No not this week we we learned about it this week it was an attempt or going to be an attempt to bring down a US cell line up US -- that -- And -- the bomb maker who is from al-Qaeda in the Arabian and it's been the peninsula in a meeting al-Qaeda in Yemen effectively.
I was developing this technology which -- there was no metal in the -- whatsoever.
And therefore could get through a lot of screening how worried are we about that a what are we doing about.
I'm glad you asked that question I head the FBI director this week I went to congress and asked him to he and visit those tools that were issued a couple of years ago these counterterrorism tools and sent it.
-- -- Is it added new threat -- no it's definitely been an ongoing that you know that very well and -- just hasn't been covered as such but.
It's it does continue to be -- was a problem and the Freddie referred to is that seems to be suggests it's more recent iteration of that underwear bomb attempt.
In 2009.
And the group has also been tied to that October 2010 attempt.
Which was seen in the one involving this -- printer cartridges bomb disguised attempt to -- -- -- Supposedly intercepted in Dubai and appropriately and -- in Dubai and London two.
It's -- -- it's essentially a constant battle.
For more.
Those who want to protect us to keep ahead of those who want to destroy us.
Great well -- -- experiencing changes in airport security with a liquid -- that.
You remember very well that dates back -- the liquid bombing plot so.
It is always a tough issue Heidi stay ahead of the technology in its -- nations but what this really does highlight I think Jonathan is.
No matter what we do our shores were still you what happens abroad does directly affect -- -- so.
-- airport security can be fantastic say -- JFK but if it's not so great in the country from the department the cleanest running from a very good point.
Did and that brings and that's how -- is.
Very different in and self rule many companies and so many even -- and and -- and -- that different but it's if you go other countries very different indeed.
Rating you've -- everywhere so I mean you can attest to the back and then the variety in security practices and the protocols that are in place are just so.
-- -- and you know -- -- -- need of course to work with partners to improve security in that respect but.
You one of my ongoing concerns has been one insider threat which we've seen in Heathrow which hasn't received much attention that.
It's always a concern as it is -- for this threat and the cargo based space area and it's much easier I I would.
Imagine -- -- sneak something in certain that way rather than on a passenger -- the scrambled attempts and had to get it certainly looks.
