(FBI Issued) Shoe Bomber Alert Preceded Airport Shooting

[DoYouEverWonder]

Ah, another day in Bizarro world. They killed a guy yesterday at MIA because they released a potential shoe bomber in NYC 6 days ago. Doesn't that make you feel so much safer now?



Dec. 7, 2005 — Federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News they had been on the alert for a possible shoe bomber when a federal air marshal opened fire at the Miami International Airport today.

Officials say a 50-year-old Egyptian man was stopped six days ago at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. Sources say he had a suspicious pair of shoes that tested positive five times for the explosive substance TATP on the interior of his shoes between the heel and sole.

Federal officials say the man's shoes are remarkably similar to those used by shoe bomber Richard Reid, who attempted to blow up an American Airlines jet over the Atlantic four years ago.

The Egyptian man's destination was Des Moines, Iowa, sources say, and he claimed he was a student at Iowa State University in Ames.

Strangely, after holding him overnight, airport security in New York released him. The FBI was notified after he was released. Now the FBI has put out a nationwide alert.

Bush's American has gone totally insane. The incompetence of the people responsible for our security from the top down is mind boggling.

In the meantime, another innocent life has been taken. Where are the Terry Schiavo freaks now?

1. What city starts with the letter "K" has an International Airport?

Then they can re-do the whole "MIA/KIA" thing.
