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.

Feds “met with the plotter frequently”. Bet they also provided fake explosives and the vest, possibly a ride to the airport.
I had a spreadsheet once that listed all the “terrorist” arrests I could find, and most were the ones where the feds provided materials and support, then busted them. Few real plots uncovered.
I’m glad this guy is off the street, but I find this tactic questionable.

Simply a news release by the zer0 crowd to make Americans think they are working for us and the US, when the opposite is true.

Just in from
Fox News: The man arrested worked at the airport as an aviation technician and believed he was driving a vehicle loaded with explosives. He was going to use his airport access card to gain access to secure areas in the airport ... he planned on dying in the explosion.

“The NSA knows all.”
Ha, they know stuff about Americans and feed data to Obama’s Civitas election Big Data Base so that dems can win elections through predictive modeling, to support “get out the vote” efforts (and never “don’t get THESE people out” efforts).
They don’t seem to know too much about real terrorists, possibly with the exception of Obama’s drone targeting.

Something about this smells fishy. “White male” were the first words out of everyone’s mouth on the news.

The Obamacare distraction that Mandela’s passing was supposed to provide turned into an embarrassing circus for The Won, and so now, they need another distraction.
I don’t believe anything out of this government anymore.

Wait, let me see if I get this strait, to distract us from radical Islamic bombings and attacks, they throw up a series of crisis events. And then to distract us from the failed PelosiCare website, they throw up an Islamic bomber?
I think my head just exploded.

Not a muslim but an old white male who got jazzed up on some jihadist literature he found on a website?
Trying to get TSA time on the Sunday shows to distract from Iran walking out of the nuke talks today.
