Where was that assessment of weaponized box-cutters back in 2001?

(U//FOUO) This assessment focuses on the potential for terrorists to use fire as a weapon in attacks against transportation modes and reviews historical use of this tactic overseas. Improvised incendiary devices (IIDs) can be extremely dangerous in the confines of transit systems. Fire accelerated by a flammable material could provide terrorists an alternative attack scenario when faced with transportation security restrictions that typically focus on explosives or other weapons. While fires are routinely associated with lone arsonists or unintentional incidents, this paper speculates on the advantages of IIDs as a potential tool for terrorists.
