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.

Underpants bomber failed in mission to blow up airliner 'because he wore the same pair of underwear for two weeks'
Somebody's mother didn't give the 'clean underwear' speech.

That’s just a smart cover-story:
In order to protect a source Mr. UnderPants HAD to be permitted to SORTA pull off the bombing:
Sounds nuts, right?
THIS WAY his surviving comrades attribute his capture to HIS own technical failure instead of to the presence in their ranks of an informant —OUR source.
This story is a way to protect our source, anyway that’s my guess.

That is enough to turn any underwear into a WMD.

You can’t pee repeatedly on explosives and expect them to work!

It’s a miracle everyone wasn’t killed or badly injured when he walked on the aircraft from the aroma.

I thought I was going to read that he failed because he peed his pants…...

If he wore them any longer they'd be able to walk onto the plane on their own. TSA would waive them through while busy wanding down an octogenarian from Paducah.
