It works!

You are walking around in a department store and SHAZAMM! An object appears in your rear pocket, and you have no idea how it got there?
So you pull it out, and read, "I'm a bomb"?
And the bomb also says, "Walk 3 blocks, take a right and go two more..." - and you DO IT!???
And someone dies your hair, and your hands are covered in dye?
This does NOT pass the smell test!
Sounds to me like Jill took an unauthorized holiday with some guy and is trying to cover it up with a fairytale.
Pinging the “purported bomb object” list.
It's going to be interesting to hear the real story. This one is too weird even for a former Soviet republic where weird is the norm.
No kidding. Jill took a holiday! She lacks imagination if she couldn;t come up with something better....but then I have learned to NOT believe the first version of a story.
I think the thing that doesn't pass the smell test right now is the media reporting on this incident. I'll wait for the real account to come out.
It works!
"Jill is a consummate happy-go-lucky person," her father-in-law said. "She doesn't see any kind of evil in the world. She's a wonderful, innocent person, and she would never think anyone would try and harm her."
Hmm, is it how the U.S. Air Force officers should be?
I gotta disagree with you a bit on this one. If you think THIS story is weird, just wait until she claims responsibility for the murder of JonBenet Ramsey.
I agree, after reading this article I think she wanted a few days off. I think we will be hearing more about this.
LOL The truth is out there.
"Seems very odd to me. "...someone placed an unspecified object in the rear pocket of her trousers. Writing on the object said it was a bomb." WTF,O?"
Entirely plausible that someone could put something in your pocket under the right circumstances. They can certainly take things out without your knowledge. They can also take things like watches off your wrist with you realizing it.
Doesn't mean her story isn't garbage. I thought this story was strange the first time I heard she was missing.
Concur on the smell of this.
Yes,something odd here.Rhetorical question:Could she have been having second thoughts about marriage or the military?
Shades of the Pizza delivery guy with a bomb around his neck ?
"I needed a ride home from Thailand but I didn't have enough money" ping. LOL.
I suspect it is easier to get something OUT of a pocket than IN.
I also think most pickpockets target large pockets, and work to distract the person first - 'someone fell down in front of me, I bent over to pick them up and...'.
She was probably required to wear conservative clothes, so I doubt she had big, bulging rear pants pockets.
And what would a bomb like object consist of? Sounds bigger than a wallet to me.
It will be interesting to see what the final story is.
I saw some of those. When someone is missing, I like to suspend doubt. Once found, I expect the story to be better than, 'Space aliens stuck a bomb in my pocket and told me to go to the mothership'.
