Everyone knows that suicide bombers always wear the bomb vests outside their clothing with blinking lights and wires exposed.
These troopers need to stop watching movies.
“These troopers need to stop watching movies.”
You must be kidding. The troopers didn’t shoot the crazy idiot. They only arrested her. This doesn’t seem like an over-reaction, it seems like a prudent and thoughtful tactic.
Failing to react would have been the foolish move. Or maybe you think the muzzies should just add blinking lights to their bombs?
The cheesy ones with digital clocks ticking down....5 4 3 2 1. I don't know who trains these guys - just how far does their security perimeter extend?
This a repeat of the Great Mooninite Hysteria.
I suspect that somewhere in the Boston/Logan LEO mindset there is some kind of collective guilt for having that extra donut instead of doing their job on 09/11 which compells them to act out like this.
Her actions were no different than the Flying Imams.
They were playing head games so was she.
That little witch exposed the response of that airports security for dealing with a potential suicide bomber so there was a loss to that airports operational security.
If I were the Airports Security Boss I would push to escalate the response to such a threat. I would instruct officers to go ahead and shoot first under similar circumstances.
Post notices to that effect and forget it.
You need to understand it is all move and counter move in counter terrorism.
Establish a fixed response and wind up with a bunch of dead innocent folks.
For the Flying Imam’s situation. The next time someone or several start acting up in concert the passengers need to swarm them.
Have a couple fellows sit on each of their backs till they stop squirming.
Especially when it comes to Grand Juries and Trials our citizenry needs to support such actions by being very tolerant towards an aggressive “Violent” response to perceptible threats. We need to get back to the old ways in a hurry.

Everyone knows this? Really?
Maybe she was just a complete nutjob who forgot to take her meds that day and decided to wear her bomb outside her hoodie.
The police did the right thing.
In other stories airport personnel actually left the building because she didn't respond to questions about what was on her hoodie.
In other words, she did it on purpose
