Mark Fuhrman looks at the state of airport security post-'Shoe Bomber,' highlights glaring vulnerability

‘How would you detect a plastic explosive inside a computer unless you’re sure the computer works first?’

Former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman examines security at the nation’s airports in the latest episode of his Fox Nation show “The Fuhrman Diaries.”

The episode, available on Sept. 28, looks at changes that were instituted after the case of Richard Reid, the so-called “Shoe Bomber,” who was sentenced to life in prison for trying to detonate explosives hidden in his shoe on a Paris-to-Miami American Airlines flight in December 2001.

“In 2001, Richard Reid has a hiking boot that is packed with [Pentaerythritol tetranitrate], and it takes the federal government five years to figure out maybe we should have everybody take their shoes off and put them through an X-ray machine,” Fuhrman says.
