The United States Coalition for Luggage Security has issued a warning, saying that over the 4 July holiday weekend, and throughout the summer travel season, the major airports are at high risk as targets for suitcase bombs being detonated by terrorists at ticket counter areas.

Richard A. Altomare, founder and chairman of the Coalition for Luggage Security, and CEO of Universal Express Inc (OTC BB:USXP.OB), said: "It's inevitable that US airports, not airplanes, will be targeted by terrorists especially as air travel is expected to be stronger this summer. Our airports are 'sitting ducks' for terrorists utilizing suitcase bombs to detonate simultaneously at ticket level areas of our biggest airport terminals".
