To blow up a passenger airliner you will need the following:
1) A large canister full of petrol
2) A match
Alternatively, just go for 3) A bomb of some description.
The difficult bit is smuggling the bastards onboard and positioning them somewhere where they can do maximum damage. But let’s not concern ourselves with that. The very fact that you know HOW to blow up a plane means you can be sent to prison for six years.
Please note: this judgement comes from the self-same Northern Ireland which has seen the release of dozens of proven and convicted terrorist murderers over the last few years.
(And now let the outraged “you’re missing the point” attacks commence in the comments…)
It's going to be really fun when they realise that every GCSE Physics student knows how to make a nuclear bomb, eh?

The report contains this hilarious line:
Police believed Boutrab had lived and operated throughout Europe and that the discovery of an international terrorist in Northern Ireland was "unusual."
Yeah, famous for its lack of international terrorists, that place.
You're missing the point! He's got a funny name and he's looks a bit foreign…
Of course, one way of looking at a plane is as "a large cannister full of petrol" (this is what the September 11 terrorists did).
Don't be daft DK, only those who did their GCSEs more than 5 years ago actually learnt anything, and now they're all quickly forgetting such things thanks to these lovely new licensing laws.
All is well :)
