CBS radio reporting new action at Detroit Airport.
Posting one more time so folks don’t miss it:
The Nigerian accused of attempting to blow up Northwest flight 253 on Christmas Day, Farouk Umar Abdulmutallab, told investigators he was part of a “larger plot” and that he believed there were other potential bombers set on similar missions on American aircraft, according to law enforcement officials.”
Hadn’t seen that, thanks.
It's an airplane, they'll check in the holding tank. At least I hope they will. Not that I'd want the job. :)
Thanks, Granny!
Sorry, I don’t buy it if the guy is also reported as being a Nigerian Petroleum Engineer on the same flight 2 days later and doesn’t return to his seat.
There is a common tactic amongst many Muslims who thought 9/11 was just and want to foster terror to get in our face in a fashion appearing legitimate without accountable consequence. There have been many reports of Muslims going into public airports and waiting areas, then all making a public scene by speaking loudly in Arabic and contesting lack of dedicated Muslim prayer areas.
IMHO, the passenger was intentionally disobedient and seeking to force law enforcement and prosecutions to publicly manifest the consequences of illegitimate behavior.
+1...
Good points, both of you.
And also — isn’t it a coincindence that the passenger in question on Sunday’s flight had a case of ‘food poisoning’ (allegedly) — and, according to all reports, he happens to be NIGERIAN as well? Boarding Lagos-Amsterdam-Detroit with NO LUGGAGE?!
HUH!
Soon enough, the ‘no luggage’ portion of the story will be discounted by ‘officials’....
Bullet casings? I assume they mean fired brass catridge cases? Or maybe even never loaded unfired brass? ...
Oh I see farther down in the story that they were live/loaded rounds.
What caliber? What kind of bullet? What headstamp? Durn reporters are worthless.
If he really didn’t have luggage as Fox News reported, they have no business letting him go (don’t know a polite way to say this) until he has a bowel movement.
The fact that the TSA changed the rules to forbid passengers from getting out of their seats an hour before landing is an admission of failure on the part of the Obama administration.
They’re admitting they are incapable of keeping bad guys with bombs off the planes.
Has Bambi been notified yet?
..it’s starting to have the feel of a dry run IMO...
Maybe the guy ingested the stuff and that is why he was in the bathroom so long.
Thanks - I didn’t see it before - do you have a link handy?
Can anyone figured out who is the person in Amsterdam who made his reservation?
Fox News:
Rep. Candice Miller (R-MI) “are these people crazy”? This is not a law enforcement issue, it’s a TERRORISTS ATTACK!
Yes Candice dear, they are crazy. The reason you recognize that fact is because you are a Republican.
Oh goody. Did they bother to check *inside*? maybe something burst there.
How come they do not disclose the nature of his sickness? Did he receive medical attention?
