The suspect told authorities that he had explosive powder taped to his leg and used a syringe of chemicals to mix with the powder that was to cause explosion. This is of concert because it is a method of mixing that is consistent with terror techniques.

If my shampoo bottle is too big, the TSA will read me the riot act. But explosives taped to the leg? Syringe full of chemicals? I guess you just get waved on to the plane ...

It’s a good thing we maintain those no-fly lists. They work really well, don’t they?

[SMCC1]

So I’m getting that this was clearly an attempted terrorist attack...but the government, for whatever (PC) reason is too afraid to classify it as that.

[mikrofon]

We need to wait until all the evidence is in and not make a snap judgment......

[rbosque]

You know it’s only a matter of time before one of those uncivilized mutants does some serious damage again.

[No Truce With Kings]

Don’t tell me. This guy was Amish. Maybe a Mennonite or a Quaker.

[Shqipo]

>>>that the device was acquired in Yemen...<<<

—Yemen. Next pisshole on the list. They'll always be a next one.

The syringe news is an update. The reporter is writing quickly, see concert for concern. Could be wrong info.

[CyberAnt]

Excuse me .. I know this is a silly question .. but if the guy is on the “no fly list” .. THEN WHAT THE HELL HE IS DOING ON A FLIGHT.

SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET FIRED! NOW!!!

If I was a passenger on that plane .. I WOULD BE HIRING A LAWYER AND I WOULD OWN THAT AIRLINE!!!!

This idoicy has got to stop! They’re more afraid of offending somebody than they are of protecting the other passengers.

• Sadeq Naji Ahmed, whom the Transportation Security Administration
hired as an airport screener after the Air Force kicked him out for making
statements supporting Osama bin Laden and praising the 9/11 attacks.
Ahmed worked almost a year before TSA found he previously had his security clearance revoked.

tried to "explode" a powdery substance

This is BS. Most substances are not "explosive" unless they are ignited in some confined space. If someone saw the powder then it was not confined.

I already thought kicking his butt was fair punishment when they thought it was just fireworks. If he really was trying to blow up the plane...hand him over to the passengers, boys.

Thanks for posting. BTTT!

Let us observe and state the obvious. Muslims are terrorists. That cute little Muzzy family down the block is only waiting either for the signal to attack, or the phone call which will tell them that if they fail to attack they will be killed.

Time to kick each and every Muslim out of this country. Religious freedom you say!!!???? Religious freedom is for peaceful assembly and people who obey the Ten Commandments, not for blood thirsty animals from the 12th century.

Stop this ROP sh*t!

The fat spunkmonkey probably just wanted to martyr himself thinking it's the closest he's ever going to get to a woman...no 72 virgins for you, loser.

However I do hear that Helen Thomas is available...

[truth_seeker]

Did they read him his Miranda rights, before questioning him?

Will AG Holder, prosecute him, or send him back to Nigeria, for recycling?

Is his tribe related to Obama’s?
