Woman tries to bring 'fake bomb' onto plane to test Phoenix airport security
The Australian ^

Posted on 08/10/2011 6:49:06 AM PDT by nuconvert

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.

Daman - an African refugee with no permanent address

Stamp "cancelled" on her papers (if she has any) and send her back to Africa.

Agreed. We didn't invite these scum; they came here to US, begging to come in. We don't owe them anything; for them to play this game mandates our steps to deny them their shot at the American dream.

As an Arizonan, well, lots of them come over the border illegally. Too bad we don’t secure our borders, isn’t it?

Hey! Don't call her a bitch! That's not nice. Bitches are gentle, sweet, loyal, and sometimes heroic. Mine is snoring next to me now.

Waterboard this creature.

Interrogation of terrorists is no good unless the terrorist is focused. First, a couple of large nails and a reliable electric grid system.

Then you can ask the terrorist, "Are you focused yet?"
