Security ... think about it!
The suspect, the third secretary vice counsel at the Qatar Embassy in Washington, was apprehended by federal air marshals who were riding undercover on the flight that took off from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, law enforcement sources told The Times. The man told authorities that he went to the lavatory and tried to light a cigarette. He made a joke about lighting a shoe bomb, according to the sources, who asked not to be named because of the ongoing investigation.
