Foiled Terror Plots Against America Since 9/11

• December 2001, Richard Reid: British citizen attempted to ignite shoe bomb on flight from Paris to Miami.

Richard Reid was too stupid to know that he was allowed to take a lighter on board, and was too incompetent to light a match. Please, some of these terror plots failed only because of their own stupidity.

What about the anthrax? Oh, wait that only threatened control of the Democratically controlled Senate. It doesn't count as terrorism.

I'm so glad that folks who willing kill themselves as part of an attack are so much smarter. 

Richard Reid would have killed himself if he had been successful. If had been more competent, he would have been successful. Now, some credit for the attack failing does go to the people on the plane who subdued him, but it's really his own failure.
