The FAA is stating this passenger was simply 'sick'. I wonder......'what if' this 'passenger' had a similar explosive device, it too failed...and he was disposing of the evidence via the toilet?

I had the same thought! We will never know, will we?

Your argument for death on the spot is purely DUMB and is full of problems. Had the guy been killed by the other passengers, there would have been no way to interrogate him and perhaps find out more about what lay behind his bomb scheme, who else was involved, etc. That, in turn, could have led to prevention of future bombings. Also, if the passengers had killed him, some nutcake conspiracy theorists would probably proclaim that there was someone on board specifically to kill the varmint if something went wrong, so that he could not be arrested and questioned.
However, you are entitled to your zany opinion. The redneck cowboy mentality often seems to seize upon wrongheaded and counterproductive "solutions" to real problems.

Sorry...beternU...posted before reading your post.
As you are obviously from another planet, "interrogation" is not permitted under current US (Liberal) Law. It's called "torture" and is not tolerated! (see "Gitmo" "waterboarding" etc.)
Since our ban of "televised beheadings"...wait, that wasn't US.
Betch'a , right now...the ACLU...Southern Poverty Lawyers are lining up to represent this "poor soul".
seeweed...don't bother trying to understand this...

Not lonely and not miserable, but I am a bit dismayed by the incredible thoughtlessness and incoherence in so much of what is put up on these forums.
Your all-subsuming, wildly-exaggerated accusation, to wit (or to half-wit, in your case) that I "constantly berate, belittle every person on this forum" is just pure and undiluted BALONEY. No more need be said on that, since others, if interested, can review my posts and verify this for themselves.

A bomb sniffing dog would detect PETN, even in trace amounts on his skin and clothes.

What makes you think that you were the topic of that statement?

You sir are truly a IDIOT!!! I never said he should of been killed. I wrote I was surprised he was not, especially after 9-11 and considering he had just tried to kill the passengers.
