well every country need that x ray {security machine} which show full body. And I really don’t believe human rights has anything to do with terrorists . All of us show our body to a doctor, so as long as the authorities keep their ethics, it is the best choice for every country to avoid this kind of danger .

We know which commercial airplane brought him to Ghana. He deployed from Ethiopian Airlines flight in Accra on December 9th. However, as already mentioned, Ethiopian Airlines is one of the best in Africa. I fly Ethiopian airlines all the time and it is a preferred airline by many West African and international businessmen, women, diplomats and government officials. Ethiopian Airlines is the unofficial airline of Africa flying numerous destinations. It probably is the only airlines in Africa offering the long distance route from Dubai to West Africa, so I am not surprised this fellow chose to patronize Ethiopian Airlines. This should raise a security alert, but is speaks no less of Ethiopian Airlines as it does of KLM, Virgin-Nigerian Airways, and Northwest Airlines.

I’m sure everybody know that, Des but they try to show how close this radicals are to home. Anyways what I always wish is, Ethiopian Muslims not to get any close with these radicals. No matter how much some country’s try to implant this hatred among our people, God will protect Ethiopia, both Christian and Muslim.

news is news, bad or not. people are entitled to know the news. it is not about linking. the fact is this underwear guy flew on Ethiopian Airlines from Dubai to Accra. I need to know this information. There is nothing to hide? Fact is fact. That’s a very important information to know where this guys itinerary so investigators get clear picture of what happened and who were his handlers? He took Nigerian Airways from Gana to Lagos and he took KLM from Lagos to Amsterdam and transferred to Northwest Airlines to Detroit. How did he get to Ghana from Dubai? By horse? By car? Did he take a taxi? No, he took Ethiopian Airlines. For me, the moral of the story is the whole world is at risk and need to step up to the plate to make us all secure from this crazy ppl. This is serious business.

May be right. Because Ethiopia may not have a sensitive instrument to check out some one with this kind of sensitive explosives at the airport.

What scary time we live in. We work hard to raise our children and those have us who can afford it send them abroad for education so they can become doctors, engineers, lawyers, instead they go to London and get radicalized and do something stupid like this guy, and if they are not dead, they will end up spending the rest of their lives in jail, instead of working to better their families lives using their education. I am assuming he flew Ethiopian Airlines and just made a transit stop in Addis. If the Americans had him on a no-fly list, Ethiopian Airlines would have caught him. Ethi is the best airlines in Africa.
