Firecracker residue on his shoes? LOL!
To: Rodney King
If he doesn't get through security, everybody panics and they shut down the aiport. Maybe they shut down because they let the passenger get away.

FOXNews is reporting the same....with no more info, and yes, the obvious correlation to make is that this guy might be another dangerous terrorist. FOXNews added, this guy explained the residue might be from firecrackers. Makes you wonder,doesn't it....they obviously had this guy in their clutches, long enough for him to offer an explanation...how the heck did they let him get away?
They must have told the guy, "you've got explosive residue on your shoes". This is a puzzle.......I'm waiting to see if the guy was middle eastern in appearance.

It would pretty much be a first for U.S. gate security to catch a terrorist. And they can't even avoid screwing it up.

Possible new questions for passengers at airport ticket counters:
Did you put on your own shoes?
Has someone else had access to your shoes since putting them on?
Do you have explosives in or on your shoe?

Maybe it was Mike Tyson. I hear that he has an explosive temper!

Would you prefer:
Elvis has left the building?!
To: Conservobabe
My question is. Will the shoes/sneakers/clothing you wear at the shooting range give the same results? How about your hands and hair?

Most likely they have some surveillance camera shots of the guy.

He was searching for his sole mate . . . I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. ;-)

Where are the National Guard and extra security people who are supposedly on duty now in increased numbers?
To: cyndee
Spokesman Mike McCarron said ``when they went to stop him, he didn't stop.''
The passenger was described as a white male in his 40s.
