Remotely Detonated?


One thing has puzzled me ever since Russian Airbus A321 fell from the sky....

How could ISIS have timed the explosion and spiraling of the Russian jetliner (if, indeed, the video below is authentic)?



Could an explosive device have been remotely detonated by someone who brought aboard a carry-on bag? 

After all, remote detonation by someone aboard would have ensured that an unforeseen flight delay would not have interfered with ISIS's making of the propaganda film, which must have required that the videocam was in place.

The passenger detonating the device in the cargo hold would have been following the flight path on one of those screens showing the exact flight path of the airplane in real time.

Another reason that I've been thinking along these lines: the recent uptick in screening measures of both passengers and carry-on bags.

We remain with an extreme danger gap - a time frame in which another device might be successfully deployed while security measures are modified and ramped up.

Fly naked. But then again, the woman flying naked might have a device surgically implanted in her breasts.

There is no bottom floor, no lowest depth for evil. This is what scares me.

I believe it is likely possible to remotely detonate a bomb with a computer or iPad type device.
