Good they were just that stupid.
No way did this guy act alone or wasn't funded by someone. I heard a neighbor say that the family's home in Bridgeport had been foreclosed on and they were in need of money. The wife was selling things on Craigs list. So how was he able to afford a last minute cash airplane ride back to Pakistan? I bet if they follow his bank account they will find someone has been advising or helping this guy.
Damned Lutherans.
The more I learn about this guy, the more I think that he's a mere whackjob rather than a "professional".
First there was the amateurish nature of the explosive device, now, "I was expecting you."
What a dumbass this guy was. Authorities are calling him a wannabe. Not the sharpest tool in the shed though.

The source, who did not explain how Shahzad had attempted to set off the bomb, said he then took a number of turns and wound up entering Times Square by driving south down Seventh Avenue.
It's unclear why Shahzad left the Pathfinder's engine running and hazard lights blinking.
But because of an incredible goof, Shahzad couldn't use his escape car. He had accidentally left the keys to that vehicle in the Pathfinder that he thought was about to blow up, the source said.
He apparently went to a train station, where he boarded a Metro North train back to Connecticut.
Another law enforcement source told CNN that investigators found a train receipt used by Shahzad that is stamped about 7 p.m., a half hour after a witness notified authorities that the car in Times Square was filing with smoke.
Sources say investigators believe he ran to catch the train that pulled out around 7 or 7:15 Saturday night.
Thank God he's an idiot. Others may not be so stupid.
