Federal agents arrested a Saudi Arabian traveler who arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with a pressure cooker, a key component used in the Boston Marathon bombings last month.
Hussain Al Kwawahir will be arraigned at 1 p.m. in federal court for allegedly using an altered passport and lying to a Customs and Border Protection Agent about the pressure cooker.
Al Kwawahir arrived at the airport Saturday from Saudi Arabia, via Amsterdam, according to a criminal complaint filed Monday in federal court.

This obvious stunt could be a decoy. This is what happened by the first world trade center bomb. A couple of guys tried to come into the country with obvious fake passports and there was a big deal made out of that. Meanwhile on the same plane, the real bombers made their way into the US with ease.
You know what concerns me the most? Goulash ill soon be banned
Maybe he was bringing in his fleishig pressure cooker.
Ah yishmaeli? No way! I can’t believe it.
1. This is a bit too obvious.
2. Why would a terrorist take a pressure cooker on an airplane when they can innocently buy one when they arrive (perhaps along with a cookbook as cover)?
3. Aren’t they going to require licenses for owning pressure cookers?
