Stupid TSA...
To put a tail on him, perhaps?
To put a tail on him, perhaps?
Un-F'ing believable (if accurate).
Airport security let him go. 'Nuff said.
Well, the idea was to beat him with the shoes - till the shoes exploded.
He had positive traces of explosives on his shoes and they let him go???????
And nobody bothered to check on his records at Iowa State until after they let him go??
Total incompetence. They should be fired. And they better hope this guy don't turn up in a terrorist incident.
WTF .. why did they release him ???
Because it would be harmful to the terrorists "self-esteem"?
I have an idea...just watch for him in Norman Oklahoma....he'll turn up all despondent and suicidal...he already has the Islamazi angle down, and the TATP!
So...when's the next OU Game?
BTTT
"Strangely?" How about "incompetently?" Or "boobishly?" Or "idiotically?"
This is the same stuff the London bombers used.
Probably found a business card from some ACLU lawyer in his pocket
Hard to believe that he was simply released...
I will be fainting with relief and appreciation if no planes are shot down in the next 3 weeks.
Still wondering how that Harrier jet managed to crash leaving Florida.
Sounds as if there was a test run...
Well I live in Lodi California and am a graduate of Iowa State University. This is really getting scary.
Don't fall for it folks..this is the 'catch and release' program of the LSM! They fish you out of warm waters..and then throw you into some blue frigid backwash. The minute they get some dumb ass at any government agency to say: 'We were looking for a shoe bomber'...then they will jump an ass to say: "then why did you kill someone with a mental handicap'?
I say the meaning of such is much deeper..The only way the Democrats can get a good parking place in Washington now... is if they make mental illness a physical handicap....lol
an AP story today on the Miami shooting by an air marshal carries this tidbit:
[quote]Officials say a 50-year old Egyptian man was stopped six days ago at New York's John F. Kennedy airport. Sources say he had a suspicious pair of shoes that tested positive five times for the explosive substance TATP on the interior of his shoes between the heel and sole.
Federal officials say the man's shoes are remarkably similar to those used by shoe bomber Richard Reid, who attempted to blow up an American Airlines jet over the Atlantic four years ago.
The Egyptian man's destination was Des Moines, Iowa, sources say, and he claimed he was a student at Iowa State University, in Ames.
Let him go?
Now, if this is true, it seems peculiar.
(1)Is this test for explosives so sensitive we get lots of false positives?
(2)Was TSA too busy to contact Iowa and check out his story?
(3) Wouldn't it be standard procedure for TSA to notify the FBI when they are releasing someone under such circumstances?
(4)Is everyone on the government payroll an idiot?
