Looks like another shoe bomber but without the shoe:
A Nigerian man tried to light a powder aboard a commercial jetliner before it landed Friday in Detroit in what senior U.S. officials called an attempted act of terrorism.
Flight 253 with 278 passengers and 11 crew members aboard was 20 minutes from the airport when passengers heard popping noises, witnesses said. Passengers saw the attempted attack, and at least one of them jumped on the man and subdued him, airline officials and passengers said.
The lack of sophistication, shows that while these terrorists can be dangerous, they are more like low-level criminals that should be handled by law enforcement. Treating terrorism as a milatary problem not only doesn’t work, it gives these people a status they don’t deserve.
