So do you think he will get free flights now?
A preliminary FBI analysis found that the device contained PETN, also known as pentaerythritol, a high explosive.

Well, it’s been shown again that PAX will jump into action even at the risk of injury to themselves ^:
A man sitting across from Mutallab, Jasper Schuringa, sprang into action, climbing over other passengers to restrain the terrorist, and suffering burns in the process, said Smith.
Syed Jafry, who was three rows behind the suspect, said another "young man behind me jumped on him.
The ordeal ended when "a sturdy guy put a lock on [Mutallab's] head," and dragged him to the front of the plane, Veena Saigl, told the Detroit Free Press. Mudallad's "pants were down," she said.

Went to TSA.gov to look for any suggestions/hints/clues/information and left empty handed. So much for 'GO TO THE TSA WEB SITE FOR INFORMATION' before traveling.

Darwin Awards -- History and Rules
The candidate must remove herself from the gene pool.
The prime tenet of the Darwin Awards is that we are celebrating the self-removal of incompetent genetic material from the human race. Therefore, the potential winner must be deceased, or at least incapable of reproducing. The traditional method is death. However, an occasional rebel opts for sterilization, which allows her more time to enjoy the dubious notoriety of winning a Darwin Award.

It's not necessary to kill oneself, mere self-sterilization will do.
