OK for gosh sakes, he had 4 razor blades, he lied, and his name is Sajid Tufail Khan.
Oh I forgot we can't profile or pick on them. But grandma got body searched instead I'll bet. And if she refuses she goes to jail.
Some days it seems as though we're doomed.
"The police report described Khan as a "Middle Eastern male" and said the razor blades were "artfully concealed" in the carry-on luggage."

Islamic Army in Iraq threatens attacks in US: website
Mon Jan 3, 7:37 AM ET
DUBAI (AFP) - The Islamic Army in Iraq (news - web sites), one of the main armed groups fighting US forces in the war-torn country, has threatened to carry out attacks inside the United States, according to a statement posted on a website.
This year "will bring woes on America. The mujahedeen (holy warriors) have prepared big surprises for your sons outside America and a big surprise for you inside America," said the statement whose authenticity could not be confirmed.
The statement appeared to mark a disturbing shift in strategy by the shadowy Sunni Muslim group which has claimed a number of attacks and killings of hostages in Iraq, including an Italian journalist and two Pakistanis.
But last month it freed two French journalists held hostage for four months.
The mujahedeen "will take the battle from inside our country (Iraq) to yours," the statement said.
"We address you after you finished celebrating the new year, hoping that you are no longer drunk ... We will give American civilians a taste of what civilians in our country go through," said the statement, presented as a "message to the American people."
The message, which described the American people as "uncivilized" and "ignorant," claimed that "the whole world" hates America.
"Are you aware that the number of those who support striking America on its own turf has greatly increased?" it said.
"Last year was a picnic for your soldiers (in Iraq). The year 2005 will witness a quantitative and qualitative change in the operations against your army, which will go down in history," the statement said.
The Islamic Army was one of three radical Islamist groups, along with the Al-Qaeda linked Ansar Al-Sunna and the previously unknown Army of the Mujahedeen, which warned in an Internet statement last week they would strike at anyone taking part in the January 30 elections in Iraq.
"Those who participate in this dirty farce will not be sheltered from the blows of the mujahedeen," said the statement.
Cream, half and half or coffee-mate? I would be so happy to make you one, honestly. You do so much for us, i mean we are paro most of us, but for reason!!!!! Christ, I don't think people realize that we are in the middle of something big! In history books, sh!t has happened and i believe, unfortunately, wrong spot, wrong time.
just damn also!!!!! wtf is happening around here?? I saw G.W. in a medical hospital today talking about malpractice suits for the most part of an hour. Thats not what should be on the news. I have respect for the man but wrong press conference.
Just my two cents,

Terrorist Attack at the Erez Terminal
(IFM January 5, 2005) During the night IDF forces identified an armed terrorist, who infiltrated the Erez terminal, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Initial investigation shows that the terrorist infiltrated the terminal via the Palestinian tunnel that leads to the Israeli terminal, activated an explosive device that created a hole in the tunnel's wall and entered the courtyard connecting the Israeli and Palestinian checkpoints. The terrorist hurled grenades and opened fire at an IDF post near the courtyard. An IDF force which arrived at the scene shot the terrorist, killing him. No injuries were reported on the Israeli side but damage was caused to the crossing facility.

Strategic Air Command Ready to Hit Terrorist Bases
MOSCOW (RIA Novosti) - The Russian Air Force's strategic air command is ready to launch preventive strikes against terrorist bases in different parts of the world. This was disclosed to RIA Novosti in Moscow by Lt.-Gen. Igor Khvorov in charge of the afore-said strategic air command.
The strategic air command is ready to accomplish this objective; and we were prepared to do this a long time ago, Khvorov added.
Considering the potential and range of strategic bombers, one can say that terrorists will not be able to hide anywhere in the world, Khvorov stressed.
First of all, the strategic air command aims to defend the state against external enemies, so that any hotheads would not want to test the strength of our state, Khvorov added.

We both know what would happen if either you or I attempted to take razor blades on that airplane. If you happen to be of ME descent, the ACLU protects you no matter what you carry on board or how you act once inside the plane.
It's the "What, me worry?" concept. IMHO they have no clue the serious threat of suicide bombers. Since it hasn't happened here yet, they minimize or discredit the idea it could happen at all.
How many times have we read of ME types photographing bridges, chemical or nuclear plants or refineries and law enforcement not showing up at all or showing up so late the perpetrators have left the scene. Perhaps the larger issue is local budgets maxed out and homeland security taking a "back seat" to domestic budget issues. Certainly our country's "homeland security" needs some tweaking.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Mossad.
Prayers your way.
The writer of this article has an exact perception of Al Qaeda and its devious success at baiting western media to suit its own goals. It's shameful the media is so gullible. Fueling the fires of hatred toward Bush and Blair, Al Qaeda has manipulated the press (elatedly) in a negative biased way upon which history will one day file the ultimate report concerning those who are supposedly in charge of documenting this war.
Thanks freeperfromnj.
That's interesting.
I'm sorry about your Aunt Clara Mossad.
ok.
