Suicide Bomb At Moscow Airport; 31 Dead and Climbing

This is a scenario people frequently warn about. Security is oriented towards keeping bombs off planes, but almost none at all is directed at keeping bombs out of the airports themselves, where all those people are bunched up together. (Of course a lot of places of even lower security, like malls, have that property.) Terrorism experts keep warning that terrorism will come in the form of lots of non-spectacular and non-clever but very deadly attacks like this. But for some reason, it only seems to happen this way outside of America.

More than 100 more are thought to have been injured in the blast, which reports suggest may have been the work of a suicide bomber.

Russia's chief investigator said the explosion was the work of terrorists.
