Pol was scheduled to take a JetBlue flight to Boston when he was arrested on Monday. In addition to the knives agents found pepper spray and a flight simulator program in his luggage.

Let's see: An impoverished islander victim of eveil capitalism paid by the TEA Party people to probe the system, right Bloomberg?

Nope, somebody MAD about ObamaCare!

A Rican with a knife? Never heard of such fantasy before.

He sounded so obvious to me, I thought it was describing a journalist trying to do some type of expose on airline “security.”

Don’t tell me, let me guess—a recent convert to the muslim faith, right?

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Another misleading headline (a weak attempt to sensationalize?).

He was stopped at the TSA security point and no where near “boarding” a plane.

I've purged my carry-on stuff of anything more dangerous than a stick of gum. But I never thought the A-10 flight simulator on my laptop for entertainment could be considered a threat...

Also in his luggage were two lighters, a device that gives an electric charge via a wire when a button was pressed, scissors, matches, a flight simulator program and information about New York City, according to an FBI affidavit.

My guess is he is as Puerto Rican as, say MOHAMMAD was.

Dear Mrs. Dallas;
I see that you are a skeptic when it comes to the ROP. Shame on you.
