If he doesn't get through security, everybody panics and they shut down the aiport.

Maybe they shut down because they let the passenger get away.

FOXNews is reporting the same....with no more info, and yes, the obvious correlation to make is that this guy might be another dangerous terrorist. FOXNews added, this guy explained the residue might be from firecrackers. Makes you wonder,doesn't it....they obviously had this guy in their clutches, long enough for him to offer an explanation...how the heck did they let him get away?

They must have told the guy, "you've got explosive residue on your shoes". This is a puzzle.......I'm waiting to see if the guy was middle eastern in appearance.

It would pretty much be a first for U.S. gate security to catch a terrorist. And they can't even avoid screwing it up.

Possible new questions for passengers at airport ticket counters:

Did you put on your own shoes?
Has someone else had access to your shoes since putting them on?
Do you have explosives in or on your shoe?

My question is. Will the shoes/sneakers/clothing you wear at the shooting range give the same results? How about your hands and hair?

Most likely they have some surveillance camera shots of the guy.

He was searching for his sole mate . . .

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. ;-)

Imagine me rubbing your nose in that pun and smacking you with a magazine.

Dunno about your state, Counselor, but mine has laws against battery.

Spokesman Mike McCarron said ``when they went to stop him, he didn't stop.''

The passenger was described as a white male in his 40s.
