Feds say they disrupted suicide bomb plot against Wichita airport
NBC News ^ | December 13, 2013 | Pete Williams

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.

He’s from the Islamic wing of the Tea Party.

“White male” were the first words out of everyone’s mouth on the news.

The story of Fox News says "He planned on dying in the explosion as a martyr..."

That word means a lot, too.

One of these days a suicide bomber will hit the jackpot and people start putting American flags on their cars again.

After that — push reset button but don’t make an attempt to solve the problem. Continue kissing up to Islam.

Let me guess, the dumbass was driving a truck full of ammonium sulfate and fog oil.

Well, his retirement is assured.

Well then, I guess it’s okay to take away what is left of our freedom and liberty. Nobody will complain now.

“...the suspect was “an older white man,” who became radicalized after reading extremist Islamic material...”

The news media will be completely confounded on how to handle this.

“white man” is a natural magnet for the scathing sword of condemnation by the lame stream media.

But toss in Islam...and they have a problem. How can they talk trash about the guy without offending the mooslems? They will have to step gingerly.

I know what you mean. The longest month of my life was the three days I spent in Omaha.

Wichita? The perps couldn’t find a higher profile target?

Always figured it's only a matter of time until the terrorists realize if they only ever hit high-profile targets, only people near high-profile targets are terrorized.

I don’t. The man at any time could simply have said, hey just pulling your chain or I changed my mind. Most of the time they aren’t forcing anything on the perp but providing what he requests.

Wasn’t the 1993 WTC attack a botched sting?

I’m glad this guy is off the street, but I find this tactic questionable.

The tactic works wonderfully. If your goal is to scare the gullible public into giving up their wealth and liberty for phony security.

WHAT???

Someone has bragged about desiring to KILL members of your family...and you do not want investigators to check if he is just an idiot or an idiot who HAS those exact intentions.
He cannot be arrested because he mentioned it. You hope someone can get close enough to him to find out what his “real” intentions are and when the evidence is gathered ARREST HIM..

DO NOT OBSERVE UNTIL HE HAS COMPLETED HIS MISSION..Destroy him before he can..

I am very happy to see that the FBI, CIA, NSA are doing their jobs to save Citizens lives, whatever the process requires (just do not tell wife about my other love interests)..

Tea Party member, right?

Don't think for a second that this administration hasn't been TRYING to rope a "tea partier" into a bomb plot sting.

Except they are not the sort to do that kind of thing. Islamists and Occutard anarchists DO.

I agree.

Seems that the only plots they’re able to stop are the ones they’re involved in.

For once, why can't it be a Tea Party member?

Now aren't you glad the NSA spies on you? LOL
