4 razor blades found in HIA bag, officials say

A St. Louis man was arrested yesterday morning by Harrisburg International Airport Police and detained for several hours after security screeners found four razor blades in his carry-on bag, airport officials said.

Police issued Sajid Tufail Khan, 34, a summary disorderly conduct citation because he repeatedly denied having the razor blades in his bag, HIA spokesman Scott Miller said.

Khan was taken to the airport's holding cell at 5:50 a.m. for questioning by the FBI and U.S. Customs officials. He was released just before noon after "all checks were negative," the police report said.

OMG!! How call "all checks be negative"....he was found with 4 RAZOR BLADES in his carry on bag!!! So even with this incident....they let him go!! I am sure that AQ isn't using people who have 10 strikes against them, or any criminal background for that matter! When suicide bombers enter mess tents, buses, crowded markets and detonate their bomb....IT IS USUALLY THEIR FIRST AND LAST INCIDENT!!!

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.

Also from the article Velveeta posted:

"The police report described Khan as a "Middle Eastern male" and said the razor blades were "artfully concealed" in the carry-on luggage."
