Western officials say many of the hundreds of foreign jihadi fighters in Somalia come in small boats across the Gulf of Aden from Yemen. The officials also say that examination of equipment used in some Somali suicide attacks leads them to believe it was originally assembled in Yemen.
The security official said the [Somali] suspect had a white shampoo bottle with a black acid-like substance in it. He also had a clear plastic bag with a light green chalky substance and a syringe containing a green liquid. The security official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.
The powdered material had the strong scent of ammonia, Bahoku said, and samples have been sent to London for testing.
Exactly my point.
“Yeah, this guy sure has the judgment to be President... “
Yeah. President of CPUSA
The passengers on that flight took matters into their own hands.
Much like those on the Richard Reid Flight.
And Flight 93, for that matter.
Looks like this is going to be the new paradigm.
At first I thought the open picnic cooler was TOTUS! LOL.

Have no fear. WE THE PEOPLE are HERE! It seems that “We The People” are the ones who are going to have to pick up the Flag and carry it.
“We the People” have proven ourselves on a number of occasions. Let’s not let America down.
God Bless America.

Screw that - ban Muslims. Powders and liquids aren’t the problem - it’s crazy Muslims that aren’t compatible with and want to destroy civilization.
Nah. ‘We’ didn’t stop the Somali, the Somalis stoipped the Somali.
