Per Ed Henry on CNN:

This administration has expressed skepticism of the color chart alert system. They're concentrating more on improving security checkpoints and other measures at airports, not colors.

Susan Collins on Homeland Security committee says she's expecting a briefing soon, wonders how the passenger got explosives on the plane to begin with, and if he actually does have ties to any terrorist organization.

Passenger Richard Griffith, who was on the plane, just said the explosives must have been in the guys pocket, ended up "in his crotch".

That wouldn't have ended well at all for the suspect's afterlife.
