Unfortunately true.  A PLO terrorist (aided by Syrian Intelligence) tried
to send his pregnant Irish girl friend on an El-Al plane with a shoulder
bag containing high explosive in a very thin false bottom.  The triggering
device was a pocket calculator fitted with a tiny detonator.  Of course,
it's probably worthwhile to weed out the amateurs...
