"We have recovered four live batteries and a circuit, with a button to switch it on and off."UPDATE:
The Airport Security Forces (ASF), claiming to have foiled a plane bombing or hijacking, on Sunday apprehended an alleged suicide bomber along with a device commonly used to detonate explosive materials.
A 30-year-old would-be suicide bomber, Faiz Muhammad, was captured by the ASF personnel after a scanner machine installed at the Jinnah International Airport sounded an alarm as Faiz was being scanned, leading to him being immediately taken into custody.
"Faiz was on his way to board a flight for Muscat. ASF personnel conducted a search of the man after a machine sounded an alarm. During the searching, we found devices commonly used to detonate explosive materials installed in his shoes,” ASF official Munir told Daily Times. “The devices included four live batteries and a circuit with buttons for switching it on or off,” he added.
During the initial course of interrogation, the accused revealed that he hailed from Mansehra and was residing along with his family in Karachi. However, he denied involvement with any terrorist organisation and claimed to be a civil engineer.
Faiz told investigators that he had a diploma from an educational institution in Karachi, adding that he had been working in Muscat in a construction company and was going to the country on a new visa to set up his own business.

I believe all of these "near misses" are trial runs. They are too clumsy. The times square would be bomber, when the authorities nabbed him said,"what took you so long?" Thats cocky, but that also means that he was timing it.
