TATP is made from acetone and hydrogen peroxide, if I understand correctly. It is cheap to make but unstable, and can blow up accidentally (like on a bench outside a stadium in Oklahoma, for example.)

"Surely they let him go to follow him and just put this story out to attempt to get him & his ilk to feel "at ease" so that they can catch more big fish. "Well, if he's an innocent guy he would have gone on to Iowa. Seems as though they can't find him. The one place you really don't want to try and tail someone would be NY City IMO.

They should be fired. Can they even be fired?
I remember Bush wanting the ability to fire TSA workers and I remember the rats squealing "unfair" but I don't know how it turned out.

Strangely, after holding him overnight, airport security in New York released him. The FBI was notified after he was released. Now the FBI has put out a nationwide alert. NEW YORK AIRPORT SECURITY: STUCK ON STUPID.

"I read that he WAS detained overnight, then released. The TSA informed the FBI of the incident after the release. "They must have gone to the same class as the border patrol on the subject of detaining people.

"He had positive traces of explosives on his shoes and they let him go???????
And nobody bothered to check on his records at Iowa State until after they let him go??
Total incompetence. They should be fired. And they better hope this guy don't turn up in a terrorist incident."
I can't believe they would have let him go without checking his I.D. That would be crazy.

I don't believe our Feds are that incompetent but I do believe ABC is not telling the whole story in this case. Just another MSM get the feds story.

Or step into any local Mosque and walk away with nitrates.
That's somewhat ironic...don't pork products get preserved with various nitrates?

Then you would think you wouldn't announce it to the press....

Thats what they say...Of course they say they dont know where he is...what are they supposed to say...
"We know where he is but were not getting him yet"
If they say they dont know where he is, but they actully do, they can track him.

There has got to be more to this... why would they test 5 times between the heel and soul anyway... Wouldn't they test somewhere else first before they take his shoe apart?
I'm also curious as to how it resembled the shoe bomber's shoes... did it have a fuse coming out of it?
Best bet: This was an Al Quaida test to see if we would catch TATP completely encased in leather. Who knows how many tests they might do before a big attack.

Explosive bacon....it's a gas!
