There is WAY too much information in that article. It seems like the government and the New York Times are competing to see who has the biggest mouth and who can endanger the greatest number of Americans.

[Jack Hammer]

So... are we then to assume that the New York Times has once again blown the cover of a CIA asset, potentially putting the lives of our intelligence operatives at risk?

A senior American official said the device was sewn into “custom fit” underwear that would have been very difficult to detect even in a careful pat-down.

That's OK, the TSA will be glad to do careful strip searches of every man, woman, and child. But they need to have their budget increased so they can hire another million employees, easing the unemployment situation. The economy will benefit and travelers will be even safer. Thank you, Barack Obama!

I still don’t believe this story. So made up; just another story to get another vote. Truth has nothing to do with this administration.

So many phony stories.

Yesterday the gun 'hidden' in stuffed animals, today the custom-fitted underwear bombs.

TSA justification for existence tales, meant to convince the weak-minded that surrendering rights for 'safety' is a good idea.

The agent is now safe in Saudi Arabia, officials said.

Oh...you mean the same country that 15 of the 19 terrorist involved in 9/11 were from?

He's a double agent, all right. The question is for WHO?
