However, the FBI later said that Mutallab was the only<br \/>\nindividual taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Were the feds retrieving their own agent, the sharp<br \/>\ndressed man who ensured that Mutallab boarded the plane despite his<br \/>\noverwhelmingly suspicious circumstances?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Mutallab was a known security threat who was on the<br \/>\nterror watch list. He is barred from entering Britain after being<br \/>\nrefused a new visa due to applying for a fake university course.<br \/>\nSeparate reports said that he did hold a valid visa, which begs the<br \/>\nquestion, how can someone on a terror watch list be allowed to fly?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cOn the one hand, it seems he\u2019s been on the<br \/>\nterror watch list but not on the no-fly list,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cThat doesn\u2019t square because the American Department for<br \/>\nHomeland Security has pretty stringent data-mining capability. I<br \/>\ndon\u2019t understand how he had a valid visa if he was known on the<br \/>\nterror watch list,\u201d Dr Magnus Ranstorp of the Center for<br \/>\nAsymmetric Threat Studies <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/wealthy-quiet-unassuming-the-christmas-day-bomb-suspect-1851090.html\">told  the London Independent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">It has also been revealed that Mutallab\u2019s father<br \/>\ncontacted U.S. intelligence officials a month ago and warned them that<br \/>\nhis son was a threat, but nothing was done.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The bomber\u2019s father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, was a<br \/>\na former minister and chairman of First Bank in Nigeria. The bomber<br \/>\ndoes not fit the image of a disgruntled, rag-tag terrorist. His<br \/>\nconsiderable wealth allowed him to live in luxury at an imposing London<br \/>\nmansion.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">As a result of the failed attack, new security<br \/>\ndirectives have been introduced for anyone traveling into America.<br \/>\nIntense body and hand-luggage searches and sniffer dogs have been<br \/>\nbeefed up at departure gates and passengers have been ordered not to<br \/>\nstand during the final hour of the flight and are not allowed access to<br \/>\nany of their hand luggage during the final hour.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">However, if you\u2019re a suspicious looking man on a<br \/>\nterror watch list with no passport carrying explosives, you should<br \/>\nbreeze through security with no questions asked, just be sure to have a<br \/>\nsharp-dressed man with you at all times.<\/p>\n<div id=\"crp_related\">\n<h3>Related Posts:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2009\/12\/30\/radio-interview-witness-says-terrorist-suspect-aided-onto-northwest-flight-sans-passport.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Radio Interview: Witness Says Terrorist Suspect Aided Onto Northwest Flight Sans Passport<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2009\/12\/30\/bombshell-eyewitness-revelations-confirmed-fbi-cover-up-of-flight-253-attack.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Bombshell Eyewitness Revelations: Confirmed FBI Cover-Up Of Flight 253 Attack<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2009\/12\/28\/man-videotaped-underwear-bomber-on-flight-253.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Man Videotaped Underwear Bomber On Flight 253<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nw0.eu\/2009\/12\/27\/why-was-he-ever-allowed-to-fly-syringe-bomber-had-been-barred-from-britain-was-on-a-terror-list-and-even-his-father-had-warned-u-s.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Why was he ever allowed to fly?
