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.

Unbelievable. [shaking head]

Now the FBI has put out a nationwide alert.

Based on this statement, can we assume that there is some connection with what happened in Miami today and that this was not just some guy off his meds?

I personally have been on alert for a plane dropping out of the sky since 11/26 or 11/28!: whichever date you believe regarding the LA missile launch against a east-bound jet.

I will be fainting with relief and appreciation if no planes are shot down in the next 3 weeks.

Still wondering how that Harrier jet managed to crash leaving Florida.

To put a tail on him, perhaps?

The FBI was notified after he was released.

I'd love to be able to give them enough credit that I could believe it was some master plan to let him go, but alas, more than likely it's sheer incompetence.

They said he failed the shoe test 5 times !!!

Well, they've got to be sure.

Perhaps they should have taken the shoes and fired some rounds into them to see if they explode... while he was still wearing them. Problem solved...

They probably let him go so that they could follow him. If not, then they should fire the entire TSA and the FBI too.

That IS no joke!

There is clearly an AQ/others assault underway.
