The notorious underwear bomber's plot in 2009 to blow up a plane on Christmas Day failed because the explosives became 'degraded' after he wore the same pair of underpants for two weeks, according to a U.S. official.

Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was on a suicide mission when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his underpants as the plane, en route from Amsterdam, approached Detroit.

Remember your mom’s admonition about wearing clean underwear.

The real reason behind that was that she would be mortified “if you got hit by a bus” and rushed to the hospital where the nurses would see your underwear. If, God forbid, they weren’t clean, it would reflect poorly upon her.

(”Imagine,” said the nurse, “letting your child go out and get hit by a bus while wearing dirty underwear. What kind of a mother is she?”)

So, the real reason that that the bomber failed lies with his mother...

(”What if, Achmed, you should try to blow up a plane with a bomb in your underpants and you fail because they weren’t clean. Imagine my shame...”)

Yep. Sounds pretty much like the FDR henchman who ran away from the Swedish Ambassador trying to warn him about Pearl Harbor.

He didn’t wear the SAME underwear for two weeks. The Mullah told them to change their underwear. He said “Umar, you change with Abdul. Abdul, you change with Mohammed. Mohammed you chance with me.”

“Hey! You smell like a**!”

That's why I think the story is positive disinformation.

Get them to wash, and the dogs/senors have a better chance of picking up "uncontaminated" molecules of explosives.

Jihadists won’t make that mistake again. 8d asymmetric warfare.

The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the be- lievers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military. . . . The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.”— Majid Khadduri

Just for a second I had a blip of sympathy for the TSA, having to search people like him. But then it passed and I am back to shunning them again.

I started to say “Waaaay to much information!” but then I thought that wearing underwear for weeks at a time is part of sharia law.

Don’t guys know that you wear them four days then turn them inside out and wear them four more? Two weeks is just way too long ...

That could be a subconscious reason I sometimes refer to them as STINKING Muzzies.
