While bringing a bomb to an airport is one of the stupider things a person can do. Bringing a fake bomb to an airport might be one of the stupidest -- but it certainly raises the question: why would someone do it?

Three African refugees were arrested after one of them, a woman, tried to pass through security at Sky Harbor International Airport with a bomb on Friday -- well...a fake bomb.

According to the Phoenix Police Department, the woman, 51-year-old Luwiza Daman, a refugee from Ethiopia, attempted to board a plane with an object that appeared to be an improvised explosive device (I.E.D.).

Me thinks yer' right . . . with this illegal alien, muslim loving foreigner in our White House, I'd hate to think of what's going to happen to Americans on Sept. 11 this year.

Want to eliminate 95% of terrorist threats to the USA??? Simply ban from entering the USA anyone born in, or resident of, Sudan, Somalia, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Egypt, Iran, Iraq. We know very well who terrorists are and where they come from, but Leftist political correctness will not allow us to take the simple steps necessary to deal with it.

Then the TSA can also stop humiliating Americans at airports.

I think it’s pretty obvious.

But liberals would disagree. To them this means ANYONE may try to do this so we better step up security on everyone. They couldn’t possibly see that someone may want to test a crime in a way that results in less punishment that getting caught trying to carry it out with real equipment. Or that certain people are more likely than others to commit this type of crime so maybe we should focus on them.

I’m interested in what was learned from this case (by both sides). And how many attempts have succeeded so we don’t know. [As interested as I am in learning what we learned, I hope I don’t find out. Not the type of thing that should be public so I also hope no dem congressmen are briefed]

If these woman carrying fake bombs are NOT middle class, middle aged white men then this 'dry run' is of NO importance.

NONE

The FBI, Homeland Security and the dems who vote funding for the FBI and Homeland Security are looking for 'preppers' - folks who buy extra food in case there's an emergency. You know the type - conservatives - Republicans - the REAL enemy.

No, they rather limit immigration from Europe.
