here’s my theory.
I think that AQ wants us to keep looking at planes and airports, you know the left hand is being watched but no one is watching the right hand.
I think another big attack is not going to be on planes where AQ wants us to be looking.
Course that’s my view.
How it was packed, primed set up on him is not what I know but like I said I think they got a sucker and they never trained him well enough.
They only have to be lucky once we have to be lucky all the time and they know that too well.
As for when it was on the TV , I suspect it was well packaged looking at the explosion.
I did hear about how they had used a condom and made the guy a human bomb and where it would really be hard to detect. Think they said it was used to kill a Saudi prince.
Now that was quite innovative.
If this guy got onboard without the proper paperwork it may not be a technological shortfall or systemic error of the type that the system can control.
Corruption and coercion make people turn their heads or take well timed breaks.
Our guy seems to be fringe of fringe. Disposable. Not one that they wanted to keep and develop. Son of a wealthy capitalist revolting against daddy.
Your theory of distraction could be right on.
Get everyone all hyped up on this while something else is going on.
Or...it could be that this guy was just a real pain in the butt and this was their way of getting rid of him and trying to get some other damage in the mean time LOL!
