ABC NEWS seems to have the most information about this terrorist act-—

Oh, our poor, baffled, clueless government. How many years will it take them to figure this out (or admit what every half-informed American has known at least since 9/11/2001).
Thanks to comment#1 removed by moderator for posting (whoever they were). BTTT!
Can someone tell me .. Have there been two different ‘attempts’ to blow up an airliner in the last few days?
I think that there is another post about another failed ‘attempt’ to blow up an airliner but it is a Delta flight that is being discussed.
If this is the case .. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!??
It’s all a misunderstanding. You see he was only trying to warm himself...looks like a racist attempt to label someone just because they don’t understand the culture of Western countries./s
Everybody relax, the President has been briefed on the situation and Janet Napolitano is monitoring events. /s
After reading the ABC account, I now fear that we’ll all have to be patted down by the TSA for the foreseeable future. Thanks to this Nigerian A-hole.
Hey, hey, people, let’s not jump to conclusions until we have all the facts. I mean, there could be an innocent explanation for the guy shooting people at Fort Hood and for this as well.
</sarcasm>
I was wondering whether this guy was actually Muslim (it’s certainly the way to bet of late), but the ABC article seems to put him into that category.
It will be interesting to see if it was actually “firecrackers”. If so, the guy is a real underachiever. Most of the IslamoWackos seem to be going for binary explosives these days.
You’ll either have to kill all of the terrorists, or they’ll make a big dent in us. Reasoning and negotiations will not hold much sway with them.
It’ll get worse.
But the election of Premier Hussain was supposed to stop Mooselip attacks??

Oh, I'm sure he was just pissed his team lost today. /rolleyes
One attempt failed, but are other attempts in the planning stage?
This is another freakin' outrage. WE have to endure additional hassle and inconvenience because THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO KILL US. How about just saying they can't come here, they are not allowed on planes headed for our country, and if they are already here, they can't fly. Traveling to the United States is not a universal human right, it is a privilege we extend to people and, one which we can deny them, as well. Another story said this person was already on a no-fly list. So, how did he get on the plane? Did the airline conform with existing law and report the passenger manifest before the plane took off? If so, why was he allowed on the flight. If not, why not? How did he get through security with an explosive substance? So many questions. Muslims should not be allowed to fly.
I’m gonna guess that last one that went down in the Ocean with no real cause was a successful run of this..
a nigerian was trying to outdo the kenyan?
“It was not immediately clear why the passenger wanted to attack the flight ... “ Associated Press
1.) Why does a rabid dog bite anything that crosses its path?
2.) Ain’t it great the AP hires people with mental disabilities?

I've no idea what commenter 1 or 2 wrote, but I bet I would have agreed with them.
NO, PLANNING is when you try to figure out HOW to blow it up, ATTEMPTING is when you TRY to blow one up. FU%$## LA Times
Is Homeland Security on vacation?
