Re: Another reason to be thankful: Failed terrorist attack
From what I've read, he is apparently on a terrorist watch list.

Re: Another reason to be thankful: Failed terrorist attack
This plane was coming into American from Norway I believe, so no idea about their security standards. Also apparently it was fireworks according to the first news source to pick up the story.
edit: Correction, it was from Amsterdam.Last edited by mmorg; 12-26-2009, 12:22 AM.Comment

Re: Another reason to be thankful: Failed terrorist attack
I believe that is just what they compared it to. The yahoo link says it was a mixture of powder and liquid that failed to explode and the passengers heard a firework-like "pop" and saw a "glow."Comment

Re: Another reason to be thankful: Failed terrorist attack
Given the amateur hour nature of the attack, it seems unlikely that it was al-Qaeda. The reason that al-Qaeda is as feared as they are is because they're very good at what they do. Blaming this on al-Qaeda would be like Iran labeling the Clown Berkley kids as CIA. Sure there's a chance, but I'd bet all of my Pokemon cards that he's just a wannabe.Comment

Re: Another reason to be thankful: Failed terrorist attack
I trust that the Ranking Member and former Chair of the Homeland Defense Committee could find out whether or not a person was on a terrorist watch list.
Chances are, if you think you know more about the "terrorist watch list status" than a person who has actually seen and probably had input into the creation of the watch list, you're a nut job.Comment
