Airport Arrest Turns Up Nuclear Info
The Washington Post ^ | 11/16/2006

Airport Arrest Turns Up Nuclear Info The Associated Press Thursday, November 16, 2006; 12:54 PM DETROIT -- A man was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after officials say they found him carrying nearly $79,000 in cash and a laptop computer containing information about nuclear materials and cyanide. Sisayehiticha Dinssa, an unemployed U.S. citizen, was arrested Tuesday after a dog caught the scent of narcotics on cash he was carrying, according to an affidavit filed in court. When agents asked him if he had any cash to declare, he said he had $18,000, authorities said. But when agents checked his luggage, they found an additional amount of about $60,900. When they scrolled through his laptop, they said they found the mysterious files. At a court hearing Wednesday, Dinssa was ordered held in custody until at least until Monday at the request of prosecutors. Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonid Feller argued Dinssa was a potential risk to the community and federal agents want to get a warrant to search his computer more thoroughly, The Detroit News reported Thursday. U.S. Magistrate Donald Scheer approved Feller's request to detain him. Dinssa, who is from Dallas, arrived in Detroit from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and was headed for Phoenix, Feller said. He is charged with concealing more than $10,000 in his luggage, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, the Detroit Free Press reported. A message seeking comment was left Thursday with his lawyer, Leroy Soles.

Everybody calm down, this is probably nothing. Remember, Michael Moore told us there is no terrorist threat. I'm sure he had a very good reason to have information about nuclear materials and cyanide on a computer and $79,000 in cash.

I can't find anything on this story other than what the AP's reporting. Everyone's just running with the AP version.

That's exactly what one would expect when a war is turned into a court case. Maybe that's why there are Laws of War.

Behold the USA, slouching toward suicide.

"after a dog caught the scent of narcotics on cash he was carrying ..."

I'll bet he is a drug dealer.

He figures if he downloads some information from the internet about nuclear materials and cyanide, lies, and plays dumb, the authorities will think he's a terrorist.

When they finally conclude he isn't a terrorist they'll be so relieved that he'll get to keep his money and be sent on his way. They'll probably apologize, too.
