Reply #29: That's Obvious

[ProfessorGAC]

They have overstepped in every way on every front, and they need to look like they're accomplishing something.

This smells like the "shoe bomber" story. An idiot lights a match on a sealed plane, doesn't expect anyone to smell that, to ignite a fuse on a device that was never tested, that later even experts with detonators could not make explode.

So, just because some dumbass talks about making a bomb and putting it on a plane, doesn't mean there was really any threat. Could be just some idiots making noise about how tough they are. That doesn't make them right, mind you. Talking about blowing up innocent people is stupid and wrong. But, talking about it and having the ability to actually do it are two VERY different things.

So, they trumpet this thing to the heavens about how "efficient" and "successful" they are, but there is no real evidence to the public that these buffoons had any hope of carrying out this hairbrained plan.
