Flight 253 A Rerun

It turns out that a very similar bombing was attempted a month ago.

Officials say a Somali national tried to board a commercial airliner in Mogadishu last month with powdered chemicals, liquid and a syringe that together could have caused an explosion. The hallmarks bear chilling similarities to the terrorist plot to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner.

But don't worry. This was an "isolated incident" and the "system worked perfectly."
