If your kids are over 16 there could be some chance of that.
Younger and they would not be likely to know anything IMO.

I started missing him before he left office, knowing what was ahead. I miss the character. I miss the strength. I miss his deep love for America.

May God protect us from this incompetant Marxist thug. There could be no worse combination of characteristics in one human being.

Bald White Guy strikes again!

Seems to have been “thwarted”, then. (Holder) Everything worked the way it should. (Napolitano) An isolated incident by right wing extremists. (0bama).

Nothing to see here.

[Marisu]

Either these terrorists are incomptent or else God is watching over us.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Nothing exploded, a “loud pop” was heard when they tossed the luggage to the ground.

Oh, so just typical airline baggage handling...

[a fool in paradise]

seems like the only time the “system works”..is when the terrorist screws up,..or some citizen notices something. Rarely is it because of stopping someone due to a bazillion dollar system in place.

They are unwilling to admit "the system didn't work" when political correctness dictated that they look the other way when Nadil Hasan made death threats against non-muslim infidels and contacted Al Qaeda before shouting Allah Akbar and gunning down 4 dozen men, women, and children.

[Trust but Verify]

Why thank you! You should work for Airtran!

It must have had a Tea Party bumper sticker on it or something.

We use USMC bumper stickers on ours. That would probably do it.

Recently lost hose to foreclosure — Bush's fault.

I wuns lost a hose. It was hart braking.

[tongue-tied]

Oh, so just typical airline baggage handling...

Exactly. I suspect someone had an aerosol can in their luggage, it started to vent when arriving back at sea level (probably hissing and "smoke" coming from the bag) so they threw it on the tarmac. POP! as it let go when it hit the ground.

[A message]

but it seems the current group of bombers are incompetent

Hopefully bacause the "smarter" useful idiots were killed during the Bush administration.

Bambi is letting them regroup.
