It makes no sense anyways.
If it's alleged el qaeda, and their "billions of dollars in funding" they would've just raised an army, and razed the place.
If someone needs on a principle to have the plane shot out of the sky, there are way dumber, and more sure ways to do that than trying to get a bomber on board.

Al Qaeda was in the middle of losing Afghanistan when the shoe thing happened, it’s not entirely implausible they’d tell some random person to try something dumb.
