Underwear Bomber could not have blown up plane

Looks like AQ will be going back to that old drawing board.

This time they failed.

Next time we might no be so lucky.
 
There's nothing that I believe in strongly enough to make me want to go out and blow my balls off in it's name.
 
And what if he managed to detonate it somewhere else, say, the cockpit, what would have happened then?

One or two people dying is just as much an act of terrorism as 100.

How was he going to smuggle his underwear into the cockpit?

That could be, maybe he was hoping to get into the cockpit slam the door hold his underwear by a couple fingers and the pilot and co-pilot would be holding their noses and choking so they wouldn't be able to control the aircraft. :lol:
 
Abdulmutallab could not have blown up plane - Discovery.com- msnbc.com

Even if the "Underwear Bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had exploded his device on Christmas day, 2009, the Airbus A330 would have survived, according to an experiment conducted by a BBC documentary team.

And while the person sitting next to Abdulmutallab probably would have died, the worst injury most passengers would have suffered would have been ruptured eardrums.

"What we tried to do was simulate, as far as we could, what might have happened over Detroit," said explosives expert John Wyatt, who was part of the BBC experiment. "We used the same type of explosive and the same amount and put it in the same position as the bomber."


This worthless effort goes down the same path as your " economy has recovered " arguments ....... :cuckoo:

Completely irrelevant to the argument at hand. You are arguing that he couldnt take down the plane. If the bomb went off in the cockpit, the pilots would have been killed and the plane would have gone down. How he gets there, well, who cares? Im not planning their missions for them.

The point is, your assessment is incorrect.

Does that mean we can get the TSA to stop groping us to keep us safe from underwear the underwear bombers of the future?

Interesting. It always makes me happy when terrorists are too stupid to accomplish their goals.

Yet you insist on reacting to them like they are geniuses that are capable of sneaking automatic weapons onto planes in their socks.
 
What it proves is how inept Al Qaeda has become.. They train for a year to get this guy to blow up a plane and all he does is set his crotch on fire. It turns out even if he was successful he would have FAILED. Another Fuck-up by Al Qaeda
He tried to set of the explosives with a match yet the explosives he used can't be triggered that way. Why is that? :confused: Because it was never supposed to work that's why.
Sorry it's not CNN or Fox News reporting this:
Flight 253 passenger: Sharp-dressed man aided terror suspect Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab onto plane without passport (MLive.com exclusive) | MLive.com
While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, 'He's from Sudan and we do this all the time.'”
"Sharped dressed Man" helps Mutalleb get on the plane without a passport. Well why would they do that? So he can't be traced back to any country and a story can made up about him.

This is all staged so that TSA can get the contracts for security in airports and Micheal Chertoff, who now works for the company that makes the scanners, can benefit from the laws he wrote mandating scanners in airports.

You understand this? With trillions of dollars in defense contracts at stake, evil people will do anything to keep them. You think they care about your 4th Amendment rights? They don't.

This is what Eisenhower warned us about in his famous speech.
 
Old news.

The real controversy today is if the Underwear Tweeter blew up his career.
