Federal agents arrested a Saudi Arabian traveler who arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with a pressure cooker, a key component used in the Boston Marathon bombings last month.
Hussain Al Kwawahir will be arraigned at 1 p.m. in federal court for allegedly using an altered passport and lying to a Customs and Border Protection Agent about the pressure cooker.

Yes but they hoped to blow people up and get away to do it again.
He probably assumed, like the rest of us, pressure cookers would soon be banned in the US. BYOPC.
Talk on the jihadi blogs must be the same as ours, that pressure cookers will soon be banned in the US.
After considering this more, that could well be the explanation. The guy had some Saudi or other foreign news source that gave him the impression that pressure cookers had been banned in the US, so he brought his own, possibly for bomb making purposes.
Well, figure that our troops have been killing terrorists wholesale in Iraq and Afghanistan for close to a decade. We've got to be getting pretty deep into their bench, by now.
That is a nice pressure cooker.
We should start being jumpy about freaking Mozlems, not pressure cookers.
This government and its incompetent agencies like DHS FBI et all are nothing but illogical reactionaries.
They fail to detect a guy on a plane with explosive shoots, BANG - we all gotta take our shoes off and get them X-Rayed.
They fail to detect a guy with explosive underwear, BANG, we all gotta get visually groped with the MMW Boob-View 3000.
They fail to detect box cutters could be used violently, BANG, we all can’t take nail clippers on board.
Anybody see a trend here? No preventive tactics, intelligence, nothing = they couldn’t find their butts with both hands and a flashlight.
THIS new event is just another Muslim making a case for a nice lawsuit. Just like those several bearded Imams that got on that on a plane with their seats separated in the cabin and started speaking Arabic loudly amongst themselves, or any of the other times they play us like fools.
Yes, undoubtedly. But, hey! That’s one fine damned looking pressure cooker! Where can I git me one?
So he flew from Amsterdam to Detroit on a test run to see if he could get the pressure cooker on board. He apparently succeeded.
The story does not say which airline checks his bags in Saudi Arabia (or even if the pressure cooker was in checked baggage.) It is time to cancel all visas for those countries which follow Mohammed and tell the former visa holders they have 24 hours to get out of the country.
My question is how did the pressure cooker get through pre-boarding luggage and belonging screening in Amsterdam?
IIRC, Amsterdam was the transit point for the Nigerian-born Christmas underwear bomber.
Destination was the same too; Detroit, home to the largest concentration of Arabs in the country.
Maybe they just have a shortage of pressure cookers at the moment. It’s essential islamic kitchen gear.
Still, as Sigmund Freud said “Madame, sometimes a pressure cooker is just a pressure cooker”

Could this have been a trial run to see what could be taken on board?
Keep the pressure cookers, ban the muzzies. Thanks cc.
