Reid Profiled By Israeli Airline Last Summer
Richard C. Reid, the shoe-bombing suspect, underwent a rigorous body check and removed his shoes for screening before boarding an El Al plane last summer. He was seated beside an armed sky marshal in the second to last row. Investigators say he flew to Israel in July to probe security weaknesses, while later events tie to a Paris to Miami attempted bombing on December 22. A Boston judge ordered him held without bail as FBI officials reveal a homemade bomb. Authorities trace his travels across Europe and the Middle East for possible terrorist links.
