A 58-year-old airport worker was charged Friday with allegedly planning a suicide bombing at a passenger terminal at the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport in Kansas.
The suspect, Terry Lee Loewen, an avionics technician who lives in Wichita, was arrested earlier in the day as he attempted to use his security pass to drive a vehicle that he thought contained explosives onto the tarmac at the airport, law enforcement officials said at a news conference in Wichita. In fact, the car contained only dummy explosives.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Loewen spent months developing a plan to drive a carload of explosives to the airport terminal and that he was determined to trigger the bomb himself and die in the blast.

Why would they call him a “suicide bomber” when he is in fact an attempted homicide bomber?

They really screwed up though. They eliminated the ability to say it was a Christian Conservative Tea Party member.

In fact, the car contained only dummy explosives. And a dummy driver as well.

curious it is that his arrest came the same day as the shootings In Colorado.

You know he’s not the only short fuse out there.
When one learns to make his own explosive and keeps
his mouth shut it will be a different story.
