Oh, come on now. Can't we all just get along. Must we continue to unjustly sterotype and profile people just because of their country of origin? After all, does anyone think that you or I would have been stopped just because we had a magnet up our a**?

[Kiss Me Hardy]

you'd really want to get a capacitor between the battery and butt for maximum effect.

[Roccus]

I still can't get my brain around the fact that they let the plane take off with his luggage STILL on board!!!!!

Ann Coulter would know what to say!

You may be sniffing up the wrong tree. It might be one of those "Don't ask, don't tell" situations.

Here is another one that just makes me wonder what in the hell is going on with our Homeland Security people.

This nut is still in the federal lockup, but he did have the gall to ask a judge to let him go without charges, so that when he gets deported, he can come back to the U.S. again. Islam is evil, but these guys are proof positive that they are insane, too.

Since the shoe-bomber, I (a little old lady) have to take off my shoes, coat, sweater, jewelry, and belt, if it has a metal buckle.

Now what are they going to ask me to do????????

[Battle Axe]

He is too a threat.

If he would have gotten on the plane, dropped his drawers and shown his wired butt to the stewardess, they would have had to treat him as if he did have a bomb.

If he did the same thing to a poofter Flight Attendant they would have had to treat him as a honored guest.

SAN SALVADOR (Reuters) - An inmate at an El Salvador jail was caught with a hand grenade stuffed up his backside -- a novel attempt to disguise his apparent escape plans. Guards at the San Francisco Gotera prison outside the capital San Salvador found the V40 grenade, about the size of a golf ball, lodged up the man's rectum during a security clampdown, a prison spokesman said on Thursday. ... Last year, prison guards found an M67 grenade in the vagina of a female visitor at the overcrowded La Esperanza-Mariona prison on the northern fringes of San Salvador.

And the most disturbing part is, his hindquarters were playing the song "What What (In The Butt)".

It wasn't that long ago we had the incident with the "flying imams and now this. No apparent threat? Give me a break.

Oh, that's right. Everybody sticks a magnet up their bu++ when flying. < /sarcasm>

[newzjunkey]

Do you recall the Russian plane that went down under suspicious circumstances?

It as believed to have been destroyed by material brought aboard in a body cavity by women.

No question in my mind: this was a dry run made to look like a harmless kook.

rectum? Damn near kill 'em!

"Well, I was told that if I take a maget with 2 wires attacked and stick it up there, then plug the other ends into the earphone jacks, my entire body will act as a speaker and I can enjoy the in-flight movie even more.. like surround sound!"

[Sender]

These are dry runs folks, another series of attacks are being planned.
