Does dousing a car in petrol sound like an efficient way to carry out a terrorist attack?


in the circumstances you state above, then generally no. However, lets add the bit you missed -

"dousing a car in petrol, and crashing it at high speed into the terminal of a major international airport"

Simple Answer...Yes.

Glasgow closed to all flights -
knock on to other flights -
Edinburgh closed to cars -
other airports tightening security -


Seems like a perfect way to cause some chaos to me.
