ABC News released exclusive pictures earlier today of what is left of the underwear bomb made by Christmas terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. The bomb was made of a six-inch pack of powder, called PETN, sewn into his briefs. It weighed about 80 grams.
The picture to the left is shown with a ruler, to gauge the correct size of the the underwear remains of Abdulmutallab. ABC reports that Al-Qaeda took credit of the attempted bombing on the Northwest Airlines flight. The fanatic terrorist group lauded its ability to overtake airport security and U.S. Intelligence. They also guaranteed new attacks would take place.
Christine Amanpour, CNN international Correspondent, posted on her twitter page today that the airports have already cranked up security. She tells her followers, “Already seeing stepped up security after the attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner: it took me 4.5 hours to board a flight from London to NYC.”

It sure looks like the dude soiled himself.
seems the guy is unhappy with his ....
Just a comment about security in general: I flew out from Ontario, CA to Las Vegas the day before thansgiving. It wasn't until I had landed and got to my hotel room that I discovered that I still had the canister of pepper spray attached to my keychain. I made sure to remove it for the return trip, but I certainly wasn't overwhelmed with the security job. They SHOULD have spotted the canister attached to the keyring. So in my opinion, it is only a matter of time before soemthing major happens again.
