Doncha Feel Safer Now?
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.
There's a 'BUT' (head) attached to this one...
...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.
Great to all be singing off the same sheet of music.
The man shot dead in Miami appears to have been deranged, but the missing Egyptian may help explain why air marshals acted as they did.

(To a condo made of stone-a?)
Anyway, I thought the much vaunted security forces of the Greater New Yawk metropolitan area were a tad more scrupulous than that? Curious if there's been an explanation for their actions yet.
