'Man Arrested' in Karachi Airport Security Alert
A man has been held at Karachi airport after batteries and an electrical circuit were found in his shoes as he tried to board a plane, reports say. Mohammad Munir, spokesman for the airport security force, said the civil engineer was arrested when a scanner sounded an alarm at the airport. He was scheduled to travel to the Omani capital Muscat on Thai Airways. The suspect was not found in possession of explosives, but Mr Munir described the circuit discovery as "worrying".
He told AFP news agency: "After the machine gave the alarm, we checked him manually. "We have recovered four live batteries and a circuit, with a button to switch it on and off."

You know, the shoes with the lights have batteries and a circuit too.

Mohammad, go through the airport check-in and see if they can detect this. If they stop you, just say you don’t know how it got there.

I’m sure this “man” was a radical Irish Catholic nun dressed in drag.

Mohammad, go through the airport check-in and see if they can detect this. If they stop you, just say you don’t know how it got there.Three guys. One with a detonator, one with batteries, and one with a sheet of C4 wrapped around his torso under his shirt or around his thigh under his pants. They meet in an airport bathroom inside security for assembly, after which the finished package goes in a backpack, which one of the guys takes on the plane with him.
That's how it'll happen, though TSA is doing a much better job of trying to guard against it than they used to.

we checked him manually. In light of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's failed underwear bomb, did they check his " package "?

Not a false flag op at all. You have one guy with batteries, a switch and wires. You have another guy with Ingredient A and another with Ingredient B ~ both part of a binary explosive.
They all three get together in the toilet and blow up the plane.

If they all ate chili first, it might have the same effect!

It doesn't even have to be the airplane toilet - they can just do it in a restroom once they get through security. Only one of the guys even has to get on the plane at all.
