If you want to blow up a plane after it takes off, all you have to do is to unscrew a fuel cap when its on the ground. You can then light the trail of trail of leaked fuel on the ground with a zippo and the flame will race all the way up the air into the plane, where upon the plane will instantly blow up. Bruce willis did it!
Although the magical incantations of "yippeekayay" or "mother fucker" he intoned during the act could have contributed to his success.
Most short to medium range commercial flights dump fuel before they land, because they need to carry extra fuel as reserve for emergency, but it is safer to land the plane at lighter weight. That means terrorists only have wait underneath the approach pattern of a major airport, light a zippo as the plane passes overhead, and the trail of dumped fuel will act light a wick and blow the plane up.
