Where are you getting the information that he had a small charge?

80 grams of PETN was widely reported. I say again the size of the charge is important. The placement is equally important.

Most reports I've seen say there was plenty to produce plane crashing damage.

Who to believe is a key issue we face in America today. How many of the reporting reporters you want to believe have the expertise of someone who served near six years as a Special Forces demolition and explosives expert and a follow on career as an officer in Special Forces and are quite familiar with the capabilities of the explosive this suicide bomber carried?
