>>>How can you confuse bomb components with a toy?
The hot new toy...
That toy's a blast...
The toy for jihadi juniors...
All kidding aside, something stinks.
DHS spokesMEN (more than one last I checked)confirmed bomb components.
Cover-up or DHS is that stupid?
That was my response as well. Since when does the Dept. of Homeland Security mistake a TOY for "all the components of an IED"??? Something definitely fishy here... No word on the carrier of the carry-on either.
Perhaps a threat was called in to the other airports to divert attention from San Diego.
Cover up by the worhtless DHS?
Another probe checking for response times and tactics?
Who knows? But we must stay alert. One of these times it will be for real.
>> Perhaps a threat was called in to the other airports to divert attention from San Diego. <<
Excellent thinking ffnj! Could have been.
I can't find any other confirmation of the IED parts being a toy except that one posters mention of what they heard on CBS radio... Perhaps we should reserve though on this till there is some confirmation that it was a "toy". Reuters hasn't updated the story in over an hour...
BREAKING NEWS ALERT: MATERIALS FOUND AT LINDBERGH FIELD ARE FOR TOYS
The commuter terminal at Lindbergh Field has been re-opened Tuesday morning, after baggage screeners found what they thought were bomb-making materials in a piece of carry on luggage.
The commuter terminal was shut down and evacuated around 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, after the discovery. But authorities say what were thought to be bomb components were actually components to make toys.
The terminal is now open and flights will continue on schedule.
Watch News 8 at Noon for the latest on this story.

Another unusual statement:
Police found a toy and what they called "some organic material", and the terminal was reopened at about 9:15 a.m.

I agree.
Why don't they just go ahead and say what it was?
What kind of toys and who owned the carry-on bag?
Just saw that at yahoo news... very interesting to say the least. "Organic material" and a "toy"? Man, WHAT is going on at DHS? How about telling us WHAT the toy was, and what the "organic material" is. Why be so cryptic about it all?
One bit of confusion - was it the screeners who thought it was an IED or was it DHS who said it was an IED?
Thanks freeperfromnj!
OK, mini-rant ahead (not directed at you freeperfromnj! (o: ).
First, "all the components of an IED" (which would presumably include EXPLOSIVE material. Then, it's a toy and some organic material. Now, it's components to make toys? How frustrating! C'mon folks this is not that hard... just tell us what exactly was found in the bag. Man, did these journalists and officials actually graduate college?
< /rant >
It was a spokesperson for Dept. of Homeland Security who was quoted saying it was "all components of an IED" via the first article at Reuters.
OK - then I'm just not buying the toy line. The story was changed -- just like the OU story was.
I thought you guys might like to know what the "organic material" was. A COOKIE!

Because the sheeple won't question it.
yes
A cookie.
Just great.
That thread is side-splitting funny. :-)
