The suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington, Mohammed al Modadi. The FBI said the man had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

If we do away with diplomatic immunity would we have to send our Kenyan President back to his home country?
How would that look?
Relax...There was no bomb or explosives...This was a nut bar...
Don’t explode it. Send it up with just enough fuel to get it over the ocean and let him muse about life and Allah on the way down.
One of Nero Wolfe stories involves a diplomat from some North African country who committed a murder. He was sent back, and his own government executed him.
D'oh!
I think it would look just wonderful.
airline passengers should not be allowed to bring
anything with them.
they could wear airline supplied gowns.
if you are rich enuf to fly,
you are rich enuf to buy clothes at your destination
Your plan is the detailed way to state the necessary fix. Convince them that Allah does not will Islam to prevail in the present century. Actually that requires total destruction of the main focus of wealth and military power in the Mohammedan world. Right now that is Iran. It will come to that or Islam will, indeed, prevail.

He shouldn’t be killed. That would demonstrate an unseemly lack of compassion. He should be deprived of his extremities in order to fight extremism, then he should be sent home to Quatar, or better, deported to Iran.

Fighter jets were scrambled to bring the plane down. G-d only knows what would have happend if the the air marshals on board hadn't tackled him… ABC News identified the suspect as a diplomat from the Qatar embassy in Washington Obama Can Remove Jihad From the National Security Strategy Document, But Can He Remove It From Islam?
This flight originated out of Reagan International. I have been told (by a United Airline flight attendant) that all flights in and (I think) out of Reagan have air marshals.
Betcha CAIR had him lawyered up before the pland touched down.
Moslems regard themselves as peaceful. They must rearrange the world so that there is eternal peace which, to them, means everyone is Mohammedan. The violent inter sect massacre and mayhem that will then ensue is Peace because it is among Mohammedans and does not involve Unbelievers.
AA 587 crashed into Rockaway Beach, Queens, NY 90 seconds after take off from JFK killing all aboard and 5 on the ground. It happened on November 12, 2001, 2 months after 9/11.
At the time there was speculation that it was OBL’s revenge against Mike Moran - brother of FReeper John Moran who was lost on 9/11. At the Concert for New York, Mike told OBL to “kiss his Royal Irish A$$”.
I think the final ruling was ‘pilot error’ but, like you, I think it was a successful shoe bomber. Eyewittnesses - cops and firemen - saw an explosion.

The OTHER passengers probably get waterboarded while Mohammed is sipping coffee with the Ambassador.
Did you watch ‘Life’ on the Discovery Channel?
Good nature series. Repeats Sunday.

That makes sense I guess. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also the case for flights into and out of NYC or Boston. I believe air marshals only fly on domestic flights and not overseas routes.
