Or he forgot to take some out of his bag before he went on holidays, and didn't know it was there.

What exactly is the conspiracy?

To be fair your contradicting yourself here. It can't be both. However, I am aware of either scenario, and that he might have actually tried to take down the plane due to PTSD or some other illness or grudge but it is CT after all. Thread wouldn't belong here if the title read:

Man accidentally brings his work home

Military demolitions expert + C-4 + Kaboom! (or intentional near miss) - framed on (Iranian?) terrorists = Fear = Compliance.

Hi,, just saw an update to this story. thought you would be interested


It is possible that the guy made another trip on dec 24th where he was caught with a grenade at Fayetteville North Carolina airport, he was admonished and allowed to continue his journey.

Very forgetful chap,.... imagine leaving that in your luggage ? eh, no i cant imagine, considering the abuse the average joe gets from airline security at a US airport, I damn well clean my bags out before I travel. yet this fella wasnt bothered at all.

If he forgot it was in the bag, then he didn't know it was there.

How was he going to blame it on the iranians?

for all anybody knows this guy was testing security and was meant to be caught . there is nothing better than that kind of publicity to show the american public look we still need huge defence budgets to save disaster from happening again. its simply playing on peoples fear.

One possible theory:

He is a deep cover Iranian plant who intentionally got caught so Iran could blame the US for trying to frame Iran.

and thus diverts attention from the presidential election forcing people to vote for a president that will bomb iran?
