and the woman was 15 yards away who saw it and called police. It was CLEARLY visible, she did not have to move the plastic bag nor did she have to come any closer.
So the FBI is trying to tell us that airline security personnel SAW the bomb with the wires and a cellphone and did not think twice about it.
FBI: Don't make us seem stupid , no way were these guys just interested in the bag.
It is IMO just different, airline personal seeing a pull bag in the middle of the street discarded, open pull trash bag out discard and leave - had a flight to work or not going to go rummage through someones garbage!
The lady who reproted it, lived nearby only saw a white garbage bag, had the time to look , nowhere to go, her house is there, and called.
Two different setups! There is no reason why two other therrorists would have to "pull out" another bomb, the firsty one was reported to be stronger than the Boston Marathon one - impedied by the constrution dumpster.
Again I ask, three "terrorsists " involved, (no!) why have two come over and mess around with a bag that has a bomb in it , in terms of planning - Ok I go set it down , and you two come over later , mess with it, hope your face does not get blown to NJ ok? Sure boss!
The way it happened makes much more sense. If I saw a resonable bag in the middle of a street , i would lift it , feels like something in it, open , its a persons garbage, discard leave it , a go on about my life.
I am not shelping around someones white bag of garbage in my new found little piece of luggage!
IMO there behavior is totally congruent with finding something they could use in their career taking it, and moving along!
KISS the problem keep it short and simple!!! Found a bag and went on bout their evening- casue they are from Egypt does not make them terrorists.
I ponder if they were two white dudes if there behavior would not seem curious
Bottom line - help me understand a reason for taking out a bomb that is just like one that blew a 40 ton dumpster to the moon!!!
from that link
The FBI said the two men saw a piece of luggage on the sidewalk, removed the improvised explosive device that was inside and then left with just the luggage.
"I think they were more interested in the bag, not what they were taking out," said Jim Watters, chief of the New York Police Department's counterterrorism unit. He added that they were "very, very lucky" the bomb didn't explode.
