Probably easier to inject the person full of nasty contagious virus (Let's pick one at random... oh, let's say, Military Smallpox for example) and then buy her and here friends a round trip ticket to see the world with stops at such lovely ports as New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Paris, Madrid, Sydney and Cairo. Metal detectors and bomb sniffing dogs won't have a clue, and you can probably get a nice worldwide dispersal in less than a week.
A global pandemic could be a bit risky to the "home crowd", but if you're a true fanatic, then you're probably going to a better afterlife anyway, just let the chips fall where they may...
(the world is a very dangerous place, and the best defense starts with minimizing the motivations behind such attacks, but that's probably a discussion for another thead).
