He likely drew the attention of US spooks if he was such a computer whiz, and then they recruited him to do some bombing so they can justify spying on all of us.

Water board, then ship him out to a former soviet bloc country for intel, then dispose of garbage. Wonder how many of these Ft. Hood jobs we are going to wait around for trials for after the election. Civil trials??? Another good weakness of this administration to expose. They keep coming.

It sounds like Traille was probing for a soft target. The shopping mall was probably a feasibility test. If there were a major detonation during a crowded holiday shopping day, the carnage could be horrific.

The CIA is always looking for people like him, computer pros, they most likely approached him, they find out he’s a loon, ranting about the US or whatever, next thing you know, a smart guy like him is throwing half-azz bombs around. Gee, i wonder where he got an idea like that. And who benefits, the CIA, NSA get to go ask congress for more money for drones and giant data centers or whatever else they’re going to do to us.

The tech degree from Georgia doesn’t mean much since he could have benefited from a quota system and that would be consistent with lacking real-world skills at being able to build an effective device without others to prop his work up or correct his mistakes as happens in so many affirmative action “successes”.

Nonetheless, an education or intelligence wouldn’t preclude him from having mental instability (like that movie theater shooter) and made him an attractive recruit for al-quaeda.

Well BHO can say still say there have been no terrorist attacks on U.S. soil under his watch.

Given the relatively high number of military personnel who frequent Ballston, he was probably also hoping to kill some of them in a place where normal military security would be absent.

As a “research scientist” he did: “Software development of a secure web application for government agencies”

Wonder what agency is using the app these days? And, what jihadi band is getting intel from it?

I remember when I worked for Fairfax County government in permits that my supervisor was telling how Tyson’s Galleria at Tysons Corner in Northern Virginia is a dangerous firetrap because of a flawed design and flammable materials, and the European company financing it through corruption had gotten it approved by the County, though many were opposed. The supervisor said if there were ever a fire at Tysons Galleria, it would cause a huge number of fatalities and that she would never set foot in it.

There are so many Muslims in Northern Virginia working for the County, so I am sure some of them have heard that as well.

Maybe it was a test run by a Muslim for preparations for bombing Tysons Galleria to cause a fire.

I have often wondered why this type of attack hasn’t been tried sooner and more frequently. Locations like malls are target-rich and difficult to defend.

You can’t require people entering malls to be strip-searched because they won’t come if you do.

I have avoided malls for years because of this kind of threat and only recently started visiting malls again since it appeared that attacks were not likely.

I agree something smells here and wonder if the authorities will ever disclose the whole truth of this incident.

You had me @ the great point of him sporting a shaggy beard.

I smell Islam!

Skunky on October 20, 2012 at 7:13 pm

GTRI? Arlington? Booz Allen Hamilton?

Luv ya Debbie and you don’t often miss the boat completely, but can you say CIA?

GTRI, Arlington, Booz Allen Hamilton ARE CIA.

I should further add the résumé is complete bullshit. I could tear it apart a hundred different ways.

You say “There’s something very weird here…” and indeed there is…he’s currently an “independent contractor” OOOoops, did I say that out loud? I meant “independent consultant” all right…

Those Forever Beholden to Islam will get nothing; this is a CIA job.

The shaggy fullneck beard was clue #1. Here is clue #2:

Tre Johnson told Patch that he was eating in the food court when he saw someone on a floor above him — perhaps the second or third floor.

“He yelled something and threw something,” Johnson told Patch. “I don’t know what he said. It sounded like some weird language.”

Just a thought — Ballston Mall is one of about half-dozen locations nationwide where Hating Breitbart was premiering that day. I took off work early to see it, but changed my mind thinking that a deranged lefty might do something stupid.

I studied aerospace engineering in college and had roomates and friends mostly doing various other engineering degrees. Quota and Affirmative Action does not work in engineering. It could result in collapsed bridge or a building. Most of the professors in the department of engineering were from Russia, India, China, Japan, Israel. These guys are hard-asses and they don’t play. So it is even in the field of software engineering. Notice that his first degree is Bachelor of Science in Computer Science instead of Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science. In BSc you study the whole kaboodle that makes the computer. In Bachelor of Arts you learn/study software programming. It is not easy to get into a MSc program at GIT. You have to go through a major vetting process. This dude is smart. Very smart. I don’t understand why he did only short stints ate all his jobs. My friends who have MSc in Comp. Sci are millionaires or thereabout. This is very strange indeed.

This is a topic that is close to my heart… Cheers!
Exactly where are your contact details though?
