How can a lap top that was already screened be a security threat?

Maybe the same way that cell phones can be? I see a problem with leaving such an expensive piece of equipment around, considering I can't afford to own one. They'd be prying the damn thing from my cold, dead fingers, lolololol!

The airport worker, Russell Defreitas, 63, through the assistance of the member of Parliament, Abdul Kadir, was in the process of seeking the financial backing and blessing of a Trinidadian terrorist group, Jamaat Al Muslimeen. The group was behind a failed 1990 coup attempt in that country, officials said.

I see Iran and Venezuela... Gee, imagine that — and Chavez was so upset when CNN linked him with violence and dictators. (If the shoe fits...)

Thanks for the info Fred, I appreciate it!

Hmmm...
At this stage of WWII, we were NOT still hiring Japanese to work in Airports, Critical Industries or allowing them to move about freely.

Yet the Japanese gave far less justification to be interred, than have the freaking Muslims in this country....

WHY do we cut these bastards so much undeserved slack - when their own community is doing so little to reign in their internal lunatics??

If we can’t lock up the bastards already here - then we need to lock those not already here - OUT.
Let them practice their murderous cult bullshit in their own Turd World...

""We have no interest in blowing up anything in the U.S.," Isha said Saturday from the couple's home in Guyana. "We have relatives in the U.S."

Dear Isha, say good bye to your pig-faced Islamist terrorist pig husband. The Religion Of Peace and all, per: GWB.

The 9/11 attack, The Fort Dix plot, illegals caught on an Arkansas Army Base, all of the robberies, rapes, and murders done by illegals, the TB incident, and other threats by illegal immigration haven’t convinced the government to close the borders. This will be downplayed and ignored by the leftist media, just like any other threat to the US. It looks like it will have to take a successful terrorist plot before real border enforcement takes place.

Looks like they were getting help:

One law enforcement official played down Mr. Defreitas’s skills as a terrorist, calling him “a sad sack” and “not a Grade A terrorist.” But he noted that his efforts to solicit the backing and blessing of Jamaat Al Muslimeen, which conducted a deadly attack on Trinidad’s Parliament during a failed coup attempt in 1990, could have had devastating consequences.

The reason for why now? Seems to be that they were going to travel and the FBI was afraid of losing track of them:

Isha Kadir, the Guyanese suspect’s wife, said her husband flew from Guyana to Trinidad on Thursday. She said he was arrested Friday as he was boarding a flight from Trinidad to Venezuela, where he planned to pick up a travel visa to attend an Islamic religious conference in Iran.

Now c’mon all of you right wing zealots......stop claiming those nice Muslims want to harm anyone. We ALL know they’re really presbyterians in disguise......

/sarcasm off

Let’s keep profiling Aunti Flo going to Vegas but don’t dare ask Ahmed any questions. It might hurt his feeling.
What nonsense.

“Tell that to the other poster. He thinks futures speculators only drive prices up, he just can’t explain how.”

gas0linealley is that what you think, that speculators ONLY drive the prices up? Or is this an imaginary straw man?

Abdul ...Abdel ... Kareem ... and Russell.

Does not the cadence of these names remind you of something?

Schlemiel ... Schlimazel ... Hossenfeffer Incorporated!

What a maroon. (3 years of planning and they still had yet to procure the explosives? I mean there’s planning and then there’s total inaction)

(Yet Russell, the mastermind of the plot, has disappeared ... I use the term loosely folks)

“Yes, terrorism makes people worry about the future availability of oil.”

Then along come non-delivery leeching speculators and try and make money off of it.

Sad.

to a muslim fanatic anticipation is more than half of the enjoyment...they've been sitting around day after day salivating about the numbers of dead and the damage they planned, that's their entire reason for living! (always allah willing, of course.)
