Federal officials say they've arrested a Kansas man who allegedly wanted to set off a suicide bomb at the Wichita airport.

Officials were to announce details of the case at a news conference at 2 p.m. ET in Wichita.

In advance of the news conference, an official familiar with the case told NBC News that the suspect was "an older white man," who became radicalized after reading extremist Islamic material on the web.

Middle America, you know, fly-over country...

A radicalized “white man” converted by an online muslim service???

Shoot, if the guy had only been surfing porn sites, he’d have never radicalized in the first place...

I almost hesitate to conclude what this website does to people...;-)

I guess that means I am radicalized to conservative principles, or maybe my conservative principles are already there, they are just being reinforced by the discussions here...

Doesn’t mean I will go out and do something illegal against the system...It just means I am better informed, and do my best to get others to be that way as well, and exercise our ability to effect change in a civil manner...Per the system we have now...

When we lose that, well, all bets are off...;-)

“...or would he remain a bloviating talker (like some on some social media who talk about CW2)?”

Are you implying the discussions on this website, on that topic, radicalize participants here???

lol I had not thought of that! I don’t think so, most CW2 people here just talk, and if anything the community is very discouraging to that concept.

Well part of me agrees with you, I have found the discussions to be geared more towards helping the awareness of certain issues that haqve the potential to preclude tyrannical activities from D.C. and other state entities...

But with that, I have found that people tend to steer towards a “prepping” type discussion, and the mechanical means to survive in varying degrees of anonymity...

Sure, there can be some cynisism involved in some peoples take on the issue, but for the most part, the discussions are constructive, informative and in some cases for some, life changing...

I have been one of the few folks in those discussions that advocate that in the event the powder keg blows up, no one wins...And that is key, so along with the discussions, a word of caution eminates from what I see is the bigger picture...
