The Battalion
By Curt Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The FBI is warning
security personnel about dozens of everyday
items — from belt buckles to keys to a dead
ly deck of cards — that can conceal knives
or other weapons terrorists could use to
hijack an airliner.
Many items cost less than $20 and can be
difficult to detect using airport screening
devices, according to an FBI statement
accompanying the 89-page catalog obtained
Wednesday by The Associated Press.
The catalog has been converted into a CD
and circulated to airport screeners and law
enforcement around the country amid height
ened vigilance aimed at preventing another
suicide hijacking by al-Qaida.
“It was designed to raise security aware
ness for law enforcement and airline securi
ty,” FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said.
U.S. law enforcement officials previous
ly have warned that al-Qaida might use
improvised or easily obtained substances to
mount attacks, especially chemicals that are
dangerous when mixed. What makes the
FBI weapons list unusual is that most of the
concealable knives, pepper spray devices
and other items are inexpensive and can be
purchased from manufacturers in the United
States, Taiwan, Japan, Italy, Sweden, China
and elsewhere.
Knives are concealed in belt buckles,
hairbrushes and combs, working cigarette
lighters, crucifixes, lipstick cases, canes,
umbrellas, keychains, pens, mock credit
cards and money clips. While many of the
blades are small, others are at least four
inches long and some are sword-length.
Among the more exotic items is a deck of
fake playing cards made of metal, with sharp
edges, that can be thrown with deadly
results. One fake key made in Japan con
ceals a knife and a smaller key that could be
used to escape from handcuffs.
One device, called a “shuckra,” is a
metal tube containing a wire that, when
locked into place, becomes a hardened spike
that could be used as a dagger.
There are false name-brand soup, hair-
spray, shaving cream and cleanser cans with
hidden compartments — the FBI calls them
“can safes” — where weapons or danger
ous substances could be placed. Fake books
with hollowed centers are used as safes.
Each item in the catalog is shown with a
ruler to give security personnel a sense of scale
and an X-ray image of how it might appear
when viewed in an airport screening device.
The FBI’s collection was purchased
through catalogs, at knife shows and through
other commercial outlets.
The 19 men who hijacked four jetliners
on Sept. 11, 2001, used common boxcutters
as weapons, and the FBI catalog is circulat
ing at a time of increased security at airports
based on intelligence collected from cap
tured al-Qaida operatives and al-Qaida safe
houses about plans for another attack using
the nation’s air travel system.
The Transportation Security
Administration forbids air travelers from
carrying sharp objects into an aircraft cabin.
The agency bans such items as boxcutters,
metal scissors with pointed tips, meat
cleavers, swords and ice picks.
But the FBI catalog notes there are many
other razor knives and penknives that are
used in construction and other businesses
that could be just as deadly in the hands of a
terrorist. Even plastic knives are included.
“Each of these tools was designed to cut
and is fully functional in that respect,” the
FBI statement says. “Whether used to cut
paper, cardboard or other material, these
knives should be treated as potentially dan-
Airport screeners beware
An FBI list of concealed weapons is being distributed to airport
personnel. It includes a wide array of inexpensive, creative and
in some cases undetectable instruments of violence.

gerous weapons.”
The Homeland Security Department on
Tuesday warned travelers to expect greater
scrutiny of cameras, cell phones and other
electronics because of evidence al-Qaida
had experimented with using cameras to
house stun guns or explosives.
The government also recently tightened
visa rules for international travelers passing
through U.S. airports after warnings in late
July that al-Qaida teams might try to hijack
international flights.
The FBI concealed weapons catalog is
unrelated to these latest warnings. Officials
say a worker at the FBI lab in Quantico, Va.,
began the catalog shortly after the Sept. 11
attacks so that security personnel would be
aware of the vast array of dangerous items
that can be legally purchased and might be
difficult to detect.
Italian scientists say they have cloned a horse
By Rick Callahan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scientists in Italy say they
have created the world’s first
cloned horse, raising the possi
bility of a sequel to the next
Seabiscuit or a carbon copy of
Kentucky Derby champion
Funny Cide.
The small, sturdy work horse
is now two months old, weighs
about 220 pounds and is in
excellent health, said its cre
ators. Their announcement beats
a Texas A&M team awaiting the
birth of its own horse clone.
The cloned Haflinger horse is
named Prometea after
Prometheus, the character in
Greek mythology who stole fire
from the gods and gave it to
humans.
Now that horse-cloning has
arrived, it could allow the repli
cation of valuable horses or
endangered breeds, said Cesare
Galli, director of the Laboratory
of Reproductive Technology in
Cremona, Italy.
“The most obvious use is to
give a sterile animal or animals
that die or can’t breed because
of some disease a chance to
reproduce,” Galli said.
Prometea was bom just two
weeks after the first member of the
equine family — a mule — was
cloned at the University of Idaho.
The mules were cloned from
cells extracted from developing
mule fetuses. But Prometea’s
DNA came from her adult moth
er’s skin cells. Cloning adult
DNA has proven more difficult
than copying fetal DNA.
The Idaho team harvested
fertile eggs, one at a time, from
mares. They then removed the
nucleus of each egg and inserted
DNA from cells of a mule fetus.
Those reconstructed eggs were
surgically implanted into the
wombs of female horses.
Galli’s team, however, har
vested hundreds of eggs from
mare carcasses at a slaughter
house. They cultured the eggs,
removed their DNA and
replaced it with DNA taken
from either adult male or female
horse skin cells.
Of 841 reconstructed
embryofj, 22 developed to
advanced embryos within about
a week. Seventeen of those were
introduced into nine mares,
resulting in four pregnancies,
but only Prometea developed to
full term.
Dolly the sheep, the first
cloned mammal, was euthanized
this year after she contracted a
common livestock disease and
her cells showed signs of prema
ture aging.
Gordon Woods, who led the
University of Idaho mule-cloning
team, said the successes in
cloning equines could open the
door to cloning racing champions.
For example, Funny Cide,
winner the Kentucky Derby and
Preakness races, is a gelding.
Geldings were widely
thought to be uncompetitive.
Funny Cide otherwise would’ve
been a lucrative stud horse.
Cloning him would keep his
champion genes in play.
“If one could clone Funny
Cide, the clone of him could be
the stud. He could pass on the
genetics,” Woods said. ,
But Texas A&M research
veterinarian Katrin Hinrichs,
leader of the rival horse cloning
group, said clones would be
rejected by the Jockey Club,
which registers thoroughbred
horses.
Hinrichs is awaiting the birth
of a cloned American quarter
horse in mid-November. She
believes cloning’s most obvious
use in the horse industry would
be cloning such show horses.
