Just reported on Imus in the Morning. A man was arrested at an airport (I didn't catch which one, maybe Pittsburg) with a box cutter hidden in his lap top computer.
The man had an expired student visa.

He was a twenty one year old Lebanese man on an expired student visa. He was arrested at the Pittsburgh airport.

Arrested this morning? I am surmising that it was yesterday or Saturday. The Pittsburgh radio stations had it as their lead story this morning.

Dumb plan . . . they're checking laptops especially thoroughly, or at least they're supposed to.

"The man had an expired student visa." Personally I think the FBI should begin by going into every college and checking "student visas". If you don't have it your out on the next jet back to where you came from. This includes professors also.

If he was gonna hide something, why not hide a real knife? Must be Homer Bin Laden........

We've not seen these folks operate alone - where are his cohorts?

How could a terrorist be so stupid? How could a non-terrorist be so stupid? Wonder what this means?

Agreed. I want EVERYONE who is here illegally sent back home immediately.
To: rogers21774
Perhaps he was given a mission to test security, and report back to someone. Perhaps he wasn't given any more information about a potential plan, so he couldn't rat out anyone.
Very odd, in any case. Don't these people know how much more difficult it will be to hijack a plane now? Unless their plan is to just kill people on airplanes, which will be pretty hard, as well.

The story clearly says the box cutter was hidden in his PC case.
