"Another Miami/Sears Tower terrorist "plot"?"

Wouldn't at all be surprised. Initially, it sounded at least semi-plausible as a plot, but the few details that have leaked makes it seem more and more unlikely. Apparently the explosive they were going to use has a difficult to acquire component, concentrated hydrogen peroxide, and it tedious to make. Plus it takes a lot of time to make enough and requires being cooled below room temp. Given that someone locking themselves in the lavatory for hours with a bunch of ice is likely to draw attention, I think we can safely say they hadn't identified an explosive. And without an explosive, downing those airliners is a bit trickier...
