if powers that be are now, albeit left handedly, posting that his cell phones and liquid antacid are suspicious, why did his luggage get cleared to fly
One report I saw said they can from somewhere else (Nashville maybe?) and transferred at ORD. They were stopped for having these devices at their origin (Nashville?), but since they were harmless items they were allowed to proceed.
Also their original itinerary would take them through IAD, which is where the suitcase was actually found, while the guys were in AMS. Another question is why did their suitcase go on a plane to IAD while they went to AMS?
