I agree; plenty of testing, all these "little" incidents, are to calibrate their appoach to the next big one....I would say more, but it appears that the "boys" that wear dresses are monitoring this forum...for me it is time to declare MAD...

Still do it here in the States.

Yup, good eye! (Missed that!) "Engineer" is used in Saudi just like we use "Doctor".

He told authorities at Boston's Logan International Airport that he was one a business trip and that the devices -- tubes about 1.5 inches long -- were artist crayons,

Then what are those fuses for?

I would be willing to bet it was some left over fireworks from New Years.

But that's not what he said. Why did his story go like this:

He told authorities at Boston's Logan International Airport that he was one a business trip and that the devices -- tubes about 1.5 inches long -- were artist crayons, U.S. attorney Michael Sullivan said.

Sullivan said Almohandis then said he did not know what they were or how they got in his backpack, which he told authorities was his only piece of luggage. He also told investigators his wife had packed his bag.

Crayons? He meant to say "carry-ons".

Ok, I didn't read the post close enough. If he identified them as something else he knew they were there. He should be punished.
