Massport investigating two 'suspicious' duffel bags in Logan cargo building
Boston Globe ^ | 11/23/2010 | Globe Staff

Posted on 11/23/2010 11:34:25 AM PST by Skeez

Authorities this afternoon are examining two duffel bags stored inside a Delta cargo terminal building at Boston's Logan Airport after a dog trained to sniff out explosives reacted, a Massport spokesman said.

Phil Orlandella said that a K9 dog from the Transportation Security Administration "got a hit'' while routine security inspections were being performed around 12:30 p.m. today. The duffel bags carried an address in Nigeria, he said.

Orlandella said the package was found inside Delta cargo building 56 and that the 25 people working there have since been evacuated.

He said the suspicious package is now undergoing a more detailed examination, including an X-ray of its contents, by a multitude of law enforcement agencies.

Orlandella said airport traffic is not being impacted by the security precaution.

Add Nigeria to the list of places that should not be allowed to ship ANYTHING to the United States: Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan...

Where do they find the time to check out everything? At this moment some three-year-old girl is debarking from a flight without being scanned and patted down. How can the nation survive?

Anyone ‘conspiracy minded’ enough to think that this was a setup to make TSA look good ?????

Maybe the gropers and the dogs should change places? I would guess that dogs could do a pretty good job identifying people who shouldn't be allowed to fly.

You might want to make an exception for tanker-loads of oil (which extracted in the mostly Christian south of Nigeria, rather than the mostly Muslim north).

Why do we allow any packages with Mohammedan origins to enter our country? It’s not as if they have industrial societies that produce marketable goods that we want.

We should drill as much of our own oil as possible, and reduce or eliminate purchasing it from Mohammedans.

Damm, according to my email from Nigeria, that’s where I could pick up my prize money.

Gee, I was unaware tanker-loads of oil were being brought in by air freight. What will they think of next?

your share of the Prince’s fortune is located in a locked trunk and if you send to 2,000$US by Western Union i can assure you most firmly I will have the Minister of Treasury deposit these monies in an account with your name .When you send me the balance of the entire amount of 4,000$US I will secure for you the monies we have set aside that will triple your investment in opening the locked trunk.Yours in peace and may all the higher powers come down on your head and fill you with peace as The Minister of Treasury will most assuredly send you the key,too!

I sure hope it’s the $6 million that guy in the e-mail promised to send me.

It’s been almost three months since I wired him the $50,000 and I haven’t heard from him ...
