11. This story is confusing.
This sharp dressed man was arrested in the US after the incident? That would mean he got on the plane and flew to the US, even though he supposedly knew that a terrorist was on board. So apparently he was willing to die himself.

If he wanted to bring down the plane and was willing to die, then why didn't he just carry the explosive himself? He apparently was able to board the plane himself without undue scrutiny, so why go through the whole exercise of trying to get a suspicious person on board the plane when he could have done it himself?

Why would an FBI agent make a remark about people reading between the lines and figuring it out? A remark like that increases suspicion.

Am I missing something here? The story doesn't make sense to me.
