A rhetorical question to all:
Had he not have screwed up, would the FBI have determined that a fire caused by electrical wires running through the Center Wing Tank started the fire and caused the explosion?
Jack Cashill alert.
No, they would not. PETN leaves a very distinctive chemical signature. Discovering that that was the cause of the explosion would not have been difficult.
Yes, terrorism would have been ruled out immediately.

Excellent observation...well done!!!
I asked my husband that same question earlier today. If, God forbid it had gone according to his jihad plan, would we have ever known the truth. There is no way this one was getting covered up with the passengers alive to tell the story. Thank goodness for those alert passengers.
All I know is that after the shoebomber screwed his bomb we had to start taking off our shoes to go through security at airports.
This time the bomb was in his underwear.

Nah. Gotta be 'metal fatigue'.
Center tank explosions are reserved as explanations for missile hits.
A: No. His father had denounced him as a nut job earlier and left an open record of his suspicions. Coupled with FBI records, overlooking this assault as a lone case would've been embarrassing to the credibility of the Islamic administration now in power. Instead, this is one Islamofascist attack that will be correctly labeled in order to keep the sheep confident that Islam's premier son is doing his best to protect us from Islam. The kneepadist media, as usual, are simply watching from a waist level perspective as the story unfolds itself.
Exactly right - had the terrorist scum succeeded, we would never or nearly never have known it was a terrorist attack - not under this administration’s security agencies.
Thank GOD this (apparently drugged up) jihadist fouled things up.
