This is insane. A man who had planned to bomb a plane on Christmas day failed and was caught by a regular civilian. 290 people were on board if that flight!

Very scary. Supposedly the CIA did have information on this bomb suspect but was unable to piece it together in time. I just got home from flying out to see my relatives and I shudder to think that that could have happened to me. Funny that the CIA couldn't stop him but a few passengers and crew members could *eye roll*

Yeah, news said he hid the bombs in his underpants..so maybe the security screening could not recognize that

Those passengers are heroes.

I agree. The bomb was aimed for Detriot.
