Muslims Protest Arrest of Iraqi at L.A. Airport
A man wearing wires and concealing a magnet inside his rectum triggered a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport. The man, identified by law enforcement officials as an Iraqi named Fadhel al-Maliki, set off an alarm during passenger screening.
"He was secreting a suspicious item in a body cavity and that was a great concern because there were also some electric wires associated with that body cavity," said Larry Fetters, security director for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at the airport.
The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) denounced the arrest as “one more example of anti-Muslim hysteria.” “The police are saying Maliki’s behavior was bizarre,” said Irun Amuk, a vice-chairman for the California chapter of CAIR. “This just shows their ignorance and insensitivity. These are customary accessories for the modern Muslim man.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has offered its services to Maliki should he desire to sue the LA Airport and/or the TSA. “This is another case of knee-jerk racial-profiling,” ACLU spokesman Bertram Petty said. “How a person chooses to carry his personal possessions is no business of the state. Many people believe that magnets have healing powers. Perhaps Mr. Maliki has a medical reason for putting a magnet in his anal cavity.”
“And I see many people walking around with wires hanging from their ears,” Petty continued. “The fact that Mr. Maliki had wires hanging out of his pants cannot excuse his being singled out. There might be many valid reasons for a person to hot-wire his underwear.”
Petty declined to offer any examples of a valid reason for such wiring, saying “We will reveal these reasons if and when Mr. Maliki’s case goes to trial.”

That is the most hilarious thing I have heard of in quite awhile.
Good for laughs.
