The federal complaint alleges that the man arrested worked at the airport as an aviation technician and believed he was driving a vehicle loaded with explosives. He was going to use his airport access card to gain access to secure areas in the airport, the FBI said. He planned on dying in the explosion, authorities said.
Federal law enforcement sources tell CNN they will announce at 2 p.m. ET a terrorism-related arrest of someone seeking to set off explosives in the Wichita, Kansas, airport.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said Loewen spent months developing a plan to drive a carload of explosives to the airport terminal and that he was determined to trigger the bomb himself and die in the blast. Loewen, who is white, became radicalized after reading extremist Islamic material on the Internet, Grissom said.
The public was never at risk.
The FBI confirmed that the arrest came after an undercover operation and called the incident a case "involving a national security matter."

Love the way the FBI does things.
Think if I look around for a nitwit soft enough in the head to mold then goad said nitwit into committing a crime with fake explosives or fake guns or fake poison I'd be hailed as a hero at a press conference?

Sounds like another terror incident planned by the FBI and funded by the FBI. All the FBI needs to do is convince someone to go along with the plan, then the FBI can swoop in and save the world from the terror plot the FBI created!
Good thing the FBI is there to stop terror plots set up by the FBI.
"Lone wolves, homegrown violent extremists, remain a very serious threat to our nation's security," FBI Special Agent in Charge Michael Kaste said in a news release. "Today's arrest emphasizes the continual need for the public to remain vigilant as law enforcement relies on the public's assistance."
