Plot holes in the bomb plot
In the version I heard about he tried to set fire to plastic explosive with a match; which seems to match this article. That could never possibly work in a million years. You need detonators for high explosive. If it was possible, one wonders why he didn't go to the toilet, where he would have privacy if the first match didn't work? (Yes there are smoke detectors, but the door can be jammed easily enough.) There's a fundamental problem of credibility that this article and the origonal news coverage never goes into. Does anyone have any credible sources on the likelihood of this being even remotely possible?
