Airport freezes over frozen CO2

Authorities say an explosion from a plastic bottle containing dry ice at a Los Angeles International Airport terminal caused up to four flights to be delayed. FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says a chemical reaction caused the explosion last night (Pacific Daylight Time) in an employee bathroom in Terminal 2. No injuries were reported, but as a precaution authorities closed the terminal and examined the area for evidence. To do that, officials had to halt security screening, which led to the delay of up to four departing flights. Whoever left the dry ice bomb did a horrible thing that inconvenienced possibly hundreds of travellers and could've potentially been a diversion for an act of terrorism. But enough about that because a Malaysian court had ruled that a Christian newspaper may not use the word "Allah" to refer to God, a landmark decision that doesn't take into account the fact that the word Allah predated Islam and had been used extensively by Malay-speaking Christians in Malaysia's part of Borneo island for centuries. In fact, Christians in Indonesia and much of the Arab world continue to use the word without opposition from Islamic authorities.
