The suspect told authorities that he had explosive powder taped to his leg and used a syringe of chemicals to mix with the powder that was to cause explosion. This is of concert because it is a method of mixing that is consistent with terror techniques.

If my shampoo bottle is too big, the TSA will read me the riot act. But explosives taped to the leg? Syringe full of chemicals? I guess you just get waved on to the plane ...

It’s a good thing we maintain those no-fly lists. They work really well, don’t they?

So I’m getting that this was clearly an attempted terrorist attack...but the government, for whatever (PC) reason is too afraid to classify it as that.

We need to wait until all the evidence is in and not make a snap judgment......

Only if you are a mooslim on the no-fly list, you don’t get checked.

If the TSA had stopped him, the Kenyan usurper would have said something like “Let me be clear — the TSA acted stupidly.”

Excuse me .. I know this is a silly question .. but if the guy is on the “no fly list” .. THEN WHAT THE HELL HE IS DOING ON A FLIGHT.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO GET FIRED! NOW!!!
If I was a passenger on that plane .. I WOULD BE HIRING A LAWYER AND I WOULD OWN THAT AIRLINE!!!!
This idoicy has got to stop! They’re more afraid of offending somebody than they are of protecting the other passengers.

Sadeq Naji Ahmed, whom the Transportation Security Administration
hired as an airport screener after the Air Force kicked him out for making
statements supporting Osama bin Laden and praising the 9/11 attacks.
Ahmed worked almost a year before TSA found he previously had his security clearance revoked.
