“God bless the father.”

Amen! Of course, to his son, and to the American/European Left, the father is nothing but a filthy Capitalist.

Both the father and the Nigerian government are to be commended for quick, appropriate responses. At least the son will have CAIR come to his defense.

The US Embassy knew about Jr. fully six months ago, but still his name isn’t on a ‘don’t fly’ list? Are we waiting for another “man-made disaster?”

The Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has directed Nigerian security agencies to commence full investigation of the incident.

And in Hawaii, Barack Hussein Obama rolled over and said, "I need a little more tan on this side."

“First Bank chairman. Mutallab, a former minister and prominent banker recently retired from the bank's board.”

At first, I thought the “former minister” meant a religious minister, but I guess it is a “minister’ in the Nigerian government, not a religious minister.

At least he reported his son to authorities. It sounds like it is our government who is playing politics with American lives by not having this man on a terrorist watch list. Especially, after the father gave his son's name to the authorities. That must have been a very hard thing for the father to do.

How many Fort Hood's and other incidents are we going to have before people realize where Obama’s sympathies lie. The man-made disaster statement by his Homeland Security department should have been enough to wake people up.

I guess his Homeland Security department is too busy chasing down people with cars that have pro-life stickers. I put a pro-life sticker on my car after Homeland Security decided pro-lifers were more of a threat that the terrorists.

I wonder if the recent adverse decision against Northwest i the case of the “flying Imams” somehow impacted security/screening procedures..

I imagine it's much like a child molester that can do whatever he wants for years until he's noticed by enough officials or is actually convicted of an offense before he gets put on a list. Not that lists matter much when he could just as easily have used one of his 372 cousins' passports (Mexican illegals have done that for decades) or got a fake one. Face it, we're pretty much at the mercy of Lady Luck and then add our incompetence and you've got major disaster just waiting to happen (again).

“He’s a true Muslim friend of America”

lol what?

someone puts out a half-baked press release of condemnation (what else would you expect) & you take it at face value, even lauding “true friend” as if you see the facts behind the press release?

Islam is at all times the enemy of America. IF it’s like this guy says, then he’s a nominal, not-accepting-the-koran-as-true ‘muslim’. We need more of those.

Obama’s milquetoast handling of terrorism ought to result in a 2 to 4 point drop in his polls this week.

Not sure how many more terrorist or other incidents we will have to endure during the Black Muslim’s Presidency.

I remember the Jimmy Carter years were very long.

Many didn’t know what was happening and Shuringa acted instantaneously and reacted accordingly.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Schuringa, sitting in seat 20J, in the right-most section of the Airbus 330, looked to his left. “I saw smoke rising from a seat ... I didn’t hesitate. I just jumped,” he said.

Schuringa dove over four passengers to reach Abdul Mutallab’s seat. The suspect had a blanket on his lap. “It was smoking and there were flames coming from beneath his legs.”

“I searched on his body parts and he had his pants open. He had something strapped to his legs.”

The unassuming hero ripped the flaming, molten object — which resembled a small, white shampoo bottle — off Abdul Mutallab’s left leg, near his crotch. He said he put out the fire with his bare hands.

Schuringa yelled for water, and members of the flight crew soon appeared with fire extinguishers. Then, he said, he hauled the suspect out of the seat.

“I took him in a choke to the first class and all the people were like, ‘What’s going on?!”

he was surprised that after his reports to the US authorities, the young man was allowed to travel to the United States.

Holy crap!

No passport. And Indian handler for the Amsterdam airport transfer.

And another passenger with a bomb in his bag was arrested in Detroit after the flight landed!

Thanks for providing the details of what happened. I’m certainly happy that Dutchman had the fortitude to act decisively. But what if he hadn’t been there? Could another precious seconds before anyone did anything have resulted in tragedy? I dearly hope that we as Americans truly have the courage and toughness to respond when confronted face to face with evil. I get a little annoyed by the empty machismo that is sometimes displayed on this forum, and would like to see how some of those big talkers would have responded in such a situation.

Good grief. I ran across this undated web page earlier, quoting Alhaji Umaru A. Mutallab, the (then) Chairman of FBN, and thought, "Oh well, probably no relation."

Wow! If that’s true, it’s pretty bad news. BTW, I wonder how the witness decided the “Indian” man was Indian; couldn’t he have been Pakistani?

I was reading on that website when the guy posted the comment. The mlive site posted another story on his comment.

On the first thread he told mlive adm that he still has his boarding pass and would email them a photo of it.

It sounds to me from reading it that it is true.

If this story has any validity, the worldwide airport security network is a failure.

There have been many comments regarding the tight ship at Schiphol Airport.
