Officials now say tragedy was only averted on Northwest flight 253 because a makeshift detonator failed to work properly. Share Man accused of attempt to blow up plane was sent on mission by terror leaders.
Bomb experts say there was more than enough explosive to bring down the Northwest jet, which had nearly 300 people aboard, had the detonator not failed, and the nation's outdated airport screening machines may need to be upgraded.

It did! Their system is based on blind luck and Dutch passengers on every flight...
“There is a providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children, and the United States of America” is often said to be a quotation of Otto von Bismarck (1818-1898).
That’s the only system that worked.
Finally some common sense posting.
As long as there is a chance for free dollar out there for our great great great grandchildren to enjoy and appreciate, we need to consider raising taxes.
He didn’t even have a passport!

Indeed, they won't make the same mistake twice, and for next time they'll know what is "more than enough to bring down the jet".
Just gotta love the media, grrrrr
It was Christmas - so God and a Dutchman??
Jack Bauer got in there and substituted a dud detonator for the real one. “It’s all part of the plan.”
Al Qaida has always had a Keystone Kops quality about it. 911 had more opportunities to fail than succeed. It only succeeded because of the incredible political correctness and incompetence of the FAA security apparatus, a tradition handed on down to the elephantine TSA.
we need to send that dutchman after the dyke
Flight 253, he acted alone.
Ft. Hood, he acted alone.
Don't argue, we need your support to catch all these individuals who by coincidence happen to have the same religious background, tote the same attitude, are about the same age group, have the same ties, and take action to kill us indiscriminately.
Take governments heed and stop the profiling.
The MSM will appreciate it too.
The hand of God...
Another passenger very emphatically witnessed the arrest of TWO men from the flight, after an explosive search dog alterted on one of the carry-on bags of one of the passengers.
The man was led away in handcuffs, nothing more heard of him.
Are you suggesting he should stick his finger in the dyke?
The liberal answer, of course, is spend more money - after all, our debt isn't anywhere close to high enough.
But more questionably is why would upgrading any (or perhaps all) of the screening machines in the US have affected this in the slightest? Do we have US screening machines over in foreign countries? Certainly news to me; I mean, I suppose I could expect them to be in Iraq, possibly Afghanistan, but doubtful in Europe. That was where the plane came from that nearly blew up over our city, right?
The incompetence of Barack Hussein Obama and his Black Muslim Presidency is limitless:
1. Obama’s FBI did not alert the ARMY that Maj Nidal Hassan was a Muslim Extremist.
2. Obama’s DSH posts super secret Airport Screening Manual on the internet.
3. Obama’s State Dept did nothing to revoke Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab’s VISA after Abdul’s father told the US Embassy that his son was a MUSLIM Extremist.
Now this same incompetent Black Muslim Presidency wants to manage our HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!!!!
Aint that the truth.
All US citizens should be required to fly on commercial airlines and all terrorists should be required to fly on Air Force One.
This will save time, money and lives.
Are you suggesting he should stick his finger in the dyke?
Oh please, this brave man has done enough.
stick a pitchfork in her, she’s done
It's catch as catch can, like the Apache who tried to lasso the Iron Horse. Silly Apache. Next time he tried loosening a rail.
Not according to the administration...
