Plausible explanation by others: test of shoe bomber location.
CIA animation does warrant best comic animation.
Thank you for letting it drop.
If I may before I go, please consider the following:
A few weeks ago, National Geographic showed a documentary on the conspiracy theories about the moon landing. They showed one of the conspiracy theorists footage of how they had demonstrated that some of his "proofs" that we didn't land on the Moon actually meant bupkis, and photos that proveed that the stars wouldn't have appeared in lunar photos, even though he had said that the stars should have been there.
His response? He laughed. I'm sure if they made a cartoon for him, he would have said it deserved and award for "best comic animation." Another guy "proved" right on camera that a spacesuit glove allowing an astronaut to work in a vacuum was an impossibility. So, of course, having "proved" that, he also believed that NASA's proof of the landings was "laughable."
I'm sure that if we made an animated film showing 9/11 Truthers how the WTC could have collapsed from jet fuel fires and how a 757 could strike the Pentagon and leave a relatively small hole, they would call it worthy of an award for "best comic animation."
One of the problems with conspiracy theories is that when you decide there's a grand conspiracy at work, all evidence contrary to your thesis, no matter how valid, becomes laughable.
