I want to know how the crew discovered it in London. I’m guessing it was in a sealed container, so how would they know?

Absolutely.

*snip*

All of the planes had taken off from Yemen according to Fox News.

*snip*

A UPS spokesperson released a statement saying, “There are two UPS planes with “questionable shipments” at Philadelphia Airport and one plane with a “questionable shipment’ at Newark airport. We are working with authorities in this investigation.”

A UPS truck in Queens was also being swept for a possible device. There was believed to be law enforcement activity in Brooklyn associated with the investigation but it was unclear how it was related.

The Portland, Maine Police Department was also conducting a related investigation, according to a statement given to Fox News.

Way too convenient. Globalists using Islamo terrorists as proxies. The only question is, what is their means and to what end?

Obviously it entails the election. This doesn't just happen two days before such an extraordinary election that is hampering the globalist agenda.

Do not be fooled into believing this is solely the work of the terror groups.

Fox News confirming that some radiological component was found to one of the bombs.

Heaven help us. This is Obama’s fault. We didn’t have all these close calls while Bush was president and the adults were in charge.

Depending on the radiological isotope, a pilot could have touched the metal device and "burned" him radiologically, only to become violently ill within a couple of hours, unexpectedly. Sure sign of severe >500 rad exposure (2-6 Grey?).

October surprise?

“Maybe, but would a terrorist attack really rally the voting public around the pathetically weak-on-terrorism President and his Democrat party?”

I believe if this would happen the gun cabinets of the public would be opened. This would be be the final straw.
