Coming across Twitter…reports that there was an alleged shoebomber attempt on a DC to Denver flight.
At Ace of Spades, Gabriel Malor is doing breaking news reporting and contacted Denver International Airport. He’s got fresh details:
(9:56) Talked to media contact at DIA. They’re calling it a “security disturbance”. The plane was from Reagan to DIA. It was met upon arrival by the TSA, FBI, and airport PD. It will have no impact on airport operations. There are no flight holds at present.
Later (9:59) He’s got a diplomatic passport and is claiming diplomatic immunity.
The passport is from Qatar.

Oh yes they are. A lot of them.
Sounds like a good definition of "dry run" to me.
Keep testing the same things until it goes unnoticed (because you desensitized officials to it), and you know you're now safe to do it for real.

Possibly, he did not “screw the pooch”.
Could he have been testing our security and responses?
This is a new twist for terrorists..get the diplomats to do the dirty work...they have immunity..but what good is that if they are dead too?
And as to the pirates..sink those damn boats too and leave them for shark dinner entrees.
Years ago I remember a british policewoman was shot by someone from inside the Iranian embassy. There was never any consequences - he had diplomatic immunity, and that was that.
