The baggage handler had no knowledge of how the fuel system worked, it can't be "blown up". And, they had no explosives or access to explosives. The great Fort Dix escapade, where three pizza delivery boys were going to bust down the gate, kill heavily armed Iraq war vets, then make a sneaky getaway....well, enough said.
