PARIS -- One of two mail bombs sent from Yemen last week was defused just 17 minutes before it was set to explode, the French interior minister said Thursday.
Brice Hortefeux provided no other details in an interview on France's state-run France-2 television, or say where he got the information about the timing.
When investigators pulled the packages off cargo planes in England and the United Arab Emirates Friday, they found the bombs wired to cell phones and hidden in the toner cartridges of computer printers. The communication cards had been removed and the phones could not receive calls, officials said, making it likely the terrorists intended the alarm or timer functions to detonate the bombs, U.S. officials have said.

But don't worry, Obama said we can take it!!
....my suspicion grows, since the bombs were fused with cells phones, they could go off at a desired time...when the call gets placed. It’s super easy to determine where your specific flight is...scary simple. You can do the deed over any city in the world from any city in the world.

1. With the computers at the checkpoints giving the package "directions" you can easily see WHERE the package is headed. So if it says USA, toss it into the bomb box.
2. FedX and UPS have the POWER to detect a package headed for the USA ... they should simply refuse everything from Yemen at the check-in counter.
3. What about the "other carriers and countries"? They're on their own.
What "important" would be in a package from Yemen anyway ... dates and bombs?
Sure it was.
What’s next?
“Wag the dog”
And then our Dear Reader allowed more of these planes with potential bombs to fly over US airspace and land at some of our busiest airports in the country.
Go Figure...(eye roll)
They know it was 17 minutes, because the bombs had the standard red LED countdown clocks.
That’s the part I will NEVER understnd- how they were allowed into our air space once the info was available to potus.
Makes ZERO sense.

..making a beep every second, and speeding up the beeps as zero approached.
And you as the camera angle back and forth between the bomb diffuser and the countdown clock, the time gap between the countdown clock and the pan back-and-forth don’t jive...
time gap when camera pans back and forth: 10 seconds, time gap when camera is focused on bomb diffuser - 2 minutes...
