Real terrorists would put a dummy mock-up in the back pack and the real thing under the chassis in a far less obvious spot.

You should read - while you still can, before all reports are scrubbed - on the OU bombing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_University_of_Oklahoma_bombing

By the grace of God, over 84,000 people weren’t boomed.

There is a University of Oklahoma City that brings in TONS of foreign students from the Middle East.

“three Middle Eastern men” - They just come right out and say it. Kind of refreshing. I hope it is nothing.

(a) Why do you assume whoever reacted to his is white?
(b) If there’d been a little more “white” overreacting to backpacks in Boston a couple of years ago, some folks might not be dead.

It’s just a home made backpack!

But, somebody invented it, and they want to impress us with it.

I was at Fort Riley at the time of the bombing...you may remember that McVeigh had a lot of connections to Fort Riley. I know three people who were questioned, under suspicion of being John Doe #2.

Anyway, I emailed Jayna Davis about the people I knew who were questioned...and the very clear indications that the FBI genuinely believed there was a John Doe #2. She actually e-mailed me back with a nice note.

More than circumstantial...one of the actual victims, in the Social Security office of the Federal Building, initially reported to police that she saw two men getting out of the truck...and one looked middle eastern.

Then presto - he never existed.

Why doesn’t someone take Ahmed’s clock and leave it unattended in the lobby of a federal courthouse and see what kind of reaction ensues.

False flag operation. They are doing this to claim that they are “victims” of Islamophobia.

Homeless guy left his backpack more than likely, but because we can't keep terrorists out or even keep them locked up when we find them, and we're importing more, everyone has to be inconvenienced.
