“I took him in a choke to the first class and all the people were like, ‘What’s going on?!” – New York Post

The plan Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab had to take down an airplane failed.

That doesn’t mean the intended terrorism was unsuccessful, especially if we follow Rep. Pet Hoekstra’s lead. Classic tweet by Pete. Though I have no idea why anyone even cares what Mr. Hoekstra has to say, as giving him all this attention is just silly, not to mention exactly what Hoekstra wanted.

The fear inside the plane was no doubt real. But the failure of Abdulmutallab to have the desired end he wanted is just that, a failure.

However, there is a pertinent question that reveals another failure.

The authorities are closely examining how Mr. Abdulmutallab was able to bring on board the powder and syringe full of chemicals.

Yeah, what about that?
