BREAKING: Man Tries to Light Shoes on DC to Denver Flight
This is breaking right now. A man on a flight from DC to Denver was tackled by air marshals as he attempted to light his shoes on fire.
More info to come...
More (9:42): I'm told the plane has just landed. All passengers are uninjured and the man is in custody.
Later (9:47): I'm a bit ahead of the news. Trying to get more info from DIA.
Another attempted shoebomber from within the United States raises questions about the usefulness of the TSA's "take those shoes off" policy.
Later (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.

This incident is quite chilling for many different reasons.
God help anyone flying...you are on your own to stop a disaster.
Authorities say an explosive team is on the way to the airport, and that while the presence of explosives has not yet been confirmed, they believe it was an attempted “shoe bomb.”
The suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington, Mohammed al Modadi. The FBI said the man had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

Errrrr, no. We will have to be ‘ashes’ before THAT happens with ‘Dear Leader’. We must be punished, you know. We’re such a ‘mean country’.
I’m thinking about handing out ‘flagellation devices’ at tea parties. *snort*
