TA-THREATS: Incendiary Device Found On Plane In Boston...

This has been sent anon to me and seems to be from a reputable source, can anyone verify it from the net? We may have something that is yet to break.

DHS reported at 1805 hours, two passengers Essam Ahmahandis and Mohammad Alhayan flew together on Riyadh out of Frankfurt (GER) and then flew on seperate flights into the United States. Ahmahandis flew on Luftansa (DLAF) 422 (FRA-BOS) and during a customs inspection they discovered 3 tubes in his carry-on bag he had.

When asked what was in the tubes he replied "crayons", when they checked they discovered it was flammable powder. ICE, FBI, LOEs, JTTF, Dangerous Goods and TSA interviewed Ahmahandis and the FBI charged him with Federal charges of "Unauthorized Possession of Incediary Device Aboard a Commercial Aircraft" and also for "Making False Statements to a Federal Officer".

Mohammad Alhayan's bag was searched with negative results but was deported due to his invovlement with Ahmahandis and "suspicious documentation" that was found on his persons.

What connection or relation was there between Essam Ahmahandis and Mohammad Alhayan other than being on the same plane?

What was the flammable powder exactly?
(Non-Dairy Creamer is flammable powder. Try it if you don't believe me.)

Anything more specific on the "suspicious documentation"?
Suspicious as in "Building Blueprints" or as in "Typical info found around ATS at any given moment?"

My first thought also- what kind of "powder"- and the creamer from MRE's (meal, ready to eat) are especially flammable...LOL-

Yeah, that was the guy with firecrackers.
