TROP. I'm sure the knife was for peeling fruit.

[Uncle Miltie]

He wasn't headed for SFO.

[cardinal4]

Dry Run...

"was jailed Saturday on $500,000"

How do you get jailed on $500,000?

They mean bond? A terror suspect gets bail?

[taxesareforever]

Give him a break. He was probably carrying the knife for protection against all the U.S. personnel who are assaulting muslims. //s

[CAWats]

Was he going to open boxes?

[shadowcat]

Maybe Bubba can leave a stain on his blue gown

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Sheesh.

I hid a transistor radio in a book in the 5th grade. Even had an earphone jack hidden at the bottom.

What a brainless stooge. Must be a democrat.

[RodgerD]

He is now a legal permanent resident of the United States and was returning to Yemen to get married,

Wasn't the Jihadist who ran over folks with his SUV in San Fransico also involved with a go-home-to-marry situation?

"He said he didn't know where the knife came from," Ayad told the Detroit Free Press

Yeah, I hate when knives mysteriously burrow themselves into my books too.  Heck, my Ann Coulter book came with one already implanted in it when first bought.

This isn't related to terrorism, of course.   Poor guy was just minding his own business when those mean ol' airport people unfairly profiled him.

Let's see how much press coverage this gets.

[RodgerD]

Ghanem was born in Yemen, a republic bordering Saudi Arabia whose 18 million residents are primarily Muslim. He is now a legal permanent resident of the United States and was returning to Yemen to get married, Ayad said.

Ghanem works as a busboy and lives in Hamtramck with family members

This brings up some questions:

Why are we still importing Islam?
Why do we allow family-based immigration of unskilled laborers?
What kind of assimilation is promoted by allowing immigrants to legally "fetch" brides (ie cousins ) from back in the village?

[Brad from Tennessee]

This suspect should be turned over to the Pakistanis for questioning. They possess some persuasive interrogation techniques.

[Frank_2001]

He was probably just "holding it for a friend". After all, Islam means peace!/s

[psychoknk]

I'm glad they caught this guy, but after reading this, my faith in airport security has dropped to 0. I'm not sure how true that site is, but given what I've seen with airport security, I can believe it.

[beaversmom]

"He said he didn't know where the knife came from," Ayad told the Detroit Free Press.

I see this on COPS a lot. Drugs in the person's pants and they don't have any idea how it got there. Obviously someone is just playing a dirty trick on this fine boy. Sure glad he was made a permanent resident of the U.S.

[Yaelle]

I hate when you go to Borders and buy a bestseller and it's all carved out with a dagger inside. It's such a nuisance.

[SkyPilot]

His name was Mohammad?

Wow!

Like, what are the chances?

[dennisw]

This guy is a true hero of the stupid

[csvset]

At least it was a knife and not a penis pump.

That would be embarrassing.

[Erasmus]

Hmmm. "Knife." "Sterile Area." "Suspected Terrorist."

Sounds like a winning combination to me.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

It may have BEEN for peeling fruit. The ridiculous TSA ought to be letting EVERYBODY bring weapons on board planes, including guns, so in case this muslim's knife was NOT for peeling fruit, the rest of the passengers could take him down faster than you could say "Global Jihad."
