Underwear bomber. Trial coming up

"The U.S. government escorted him through security without a passport and, we believe, gave him an intentionally defective bomb," said Kurt Haskell.

It's a startling allegation from two local attorneys that were on-board the 2009 Christmas Day flight to Detroit when Abdulmutallab allegedly tried to blow up a bomb hidden in his underwear.

Kurt and Lori Haskell think the U.S. government was behind the whole thing.

"It was intentional that it went this far to further the war on terror, to get body scanners in the airports, to increase the TSA's budget, to renew the Patriot Act and whatever other reasons you want to list," Kurt Haskell told FOX 2.

The Haskells say in Amsterdam before boarding the flight to Detroit, they witnessed Abdulmutallab arguing with a ticket agent at the gate because he didn't have a passport when a man in a tan suit with an American accent intervened.

"The ticket agent did not want to allow Abdulmutallab on the flight and this man was very insistent of it, and then she referred them to a manager down the hallway," said Kurt Haskell.

They next saw Abdulmutallab on-board the plane when they saw fire and people screaming."

3. This should be interesting
So far we have "a man with an America accent" witnessed by two passagers, turning into a "US government escort" onto the plane.

4. We have black box counterterrorism

By that I mean it's all secret and the public has no right to know anything. We should willingly (enthusiastically) submit to whatever the super dedicated intelligence officials tell us is required.

5. Is there a point somewhere in your post
that is related to the OP? Or is just one more variation of your endless authoritarian meme?
