These Are The Underpants Of An Ineffective Terrorist

Oh so here's a thing. ABC has the FOTOSCOOP of the bomb-laden undergarment worn by the Nigerian failed Terrorist, Nigerian Failed Terrorist. Indeed that is a ruler, for scale. Telling! But what else about this pair of underwear all but requires we nuke Yemen, the "Iraq of Yemen"?

"The bomb packet is a six-inch long container of the high explosive chemical called PETN, less than a half cup in volume, weighing about 80 grams.

A government test with 50 grams of PETN blew a hole in the side of an airliner. That was the amount in the bomb carried by the so-called shoe bomber Richard Reid over Christmas 2001.

The underpants bomb would have been one and a half times as powerful."

Point is, bomb shoes and underwear too.
