A WOMAN is behind bars after allegedly attempting to carry an explosive device through airport security at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, US. Lewiza Daman was accused of trying to sneak a fake bomb past TSA agents to test airport security, MyFoxPhoenix.com.
TSA agents found what looked like a simulated explosive device inside a carry-on bag at a checkpoint Friday. The container was filled with a paste-like substance, with a cell phone taped to the top.
The bomb squad and hazmat teams were called out to the airport until they could determine the device was fake.
Daman - an African refugee with no permanent address - told Homeland Security detectives a friend had given her the fake bomb to carry on a plane and hand to someone waiting for her in Des Moines, Iowa.

Watch who you call a terrorist, she is obviously not a member of the TEA Party.
With a name like Lewiza, she’s most likely a Christian. She might be a patsy. Muslim terrorists can’t survive without patsies..
Like Brevik.
With friends like these....
Thanks.
We’re probably lucky that security caught it. I went through the airport about a month ago, and had to go through the new scanners and all that for the first time. On my return trip, I completely forgot about the “3 oz” rule for liquids, and had a 20 oz bottle of soda in my carry-on when I went through security. After getting cleared I realized I had left it in there, and figured they just took it, but I checked and it was still there.
I’m not sure if they missed it, or if the TSA folks in Phoenix just couldn’t be bothered to confiscate an unopened soda from a 30-something white guy on vacation.
"Go right ahead, Sir. Oh, by the way, you are welcome to use the Mini-Mosque down on Concourse B, just past the Starbucks, on the left. Have a safe flight, Sir."
profiling wouldn’t have helped here. (you may now resume disbelief).
Whta’s her DU screen name?
