I think we deserve to know if there was a live bomb on that plane.

the question is why didn’t they detonate it?

Impound, examine, and go all Jason Bourne on the terrorists.

What ever the dog alerted on could have been live or just a “test” device, we will likely never know. The fact that Mr. Haskell said there was a “cameraman” filming makes me wonder if this was a dress rehearsal. In other words sacrifice some low level incompetents with a device that had a substandard ignition to actively test security in a real world environment.

It couldn’t have been a bomb; instead, it was probably just fumes from the gas tank. If you think otherwise, you will get a friendly visit from our FBI.

Think TWA Flight 800, and imagine how the investigation would have looked if the bomber had succeeded.

The same reason the Van in Times Square was empty. The Iranians are demonstrating the cost of challenging them over their nuke program. Only a dumbass doesn’t understand these ME regimes fight their wars this way. they certainly don’t have the standing army to frighten anyone.
