The notorious underwear bomber's plot in 2009 to blow up a plane on Christmas Day failed because the explosives became 'degraded' after he wore the same pair of underpants for two weeks, according to a U.S. official.

Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on a suicide mission when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his underpants as the plane, en route from Amsterdam, approached Detroit.

“Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab”, sounds kind of like what you would find in underpants used for a couple of weeks no change,,

Two weeks no changy? Add on being a cameljockey who never uses TP.

Sitting next to this guy on the plane was probably a real pleasure.......

Well that because of the well-known effect of the SPBDS (Smelly Pants Bomb Diffusing Syndrome).

I like the plan one guy came up with a few years ago to end once and for all Islamo plane bombs and hijackings:

1. All Muslims must take separate flights from general population no exceptions.

2. Flight-plan will be filed and followed to the degree.

3. If plane veers one degree off flight plan, auto-pilot will take over, will be impossible to override whereas plane will fly over the nearest ocean miles from any population and shipping lanes and proceed to blow up.

The guy sitting next to him probably said, “Hey! You smell like a**!”

Then Abdul answered, “Nah, it is just the explosive chemicals . . .”

That’s when he tackled him.

The Underwear Bomber was visited by his Mom in jail. They spoke through a thick plexiglass window. The Mom says
“Now do you see why I made you and your brother wash yourselves and soap your drawers every day after supper? NOW do you see it? You know me, Umar, I don’t want to be one to say I told you so, but.....” Before she can finish her statement, her son, Umar Farouk the failed bomber jumps off the folding chair, bangs his fists against the plexiglass, kicks the window with his feet, as he screams curse words in three languages. In sum he is saying’ “Get Her Outta Here!!!”
“Mom” is promptly, but politely ascorted out of the family room, completely baffled as to what just happened.

I do believe this was standard issue attire for the Occupy Stinkfest.

Meanwhile, the underwear bomber’s Nigerian father learned of his son’s plans and warned U.S. authorities. So why was the underwear bomber even allowed to board the plane in Amsterdam?

It’s almost like the U.S. authorities wanted the plane to explode over Detroit, so they could take away more of our liberties and freedoms.
