“The terrorists need do nothing but stand back and watch the US destroyed by rampant idiocy unfettered by even the most simple and basic logic.”
I believe you will be leading that charge.
“Why don’t we just have a country where security can lock up anyone they suspect of terrorist activities. Oh, wait that is what the Stasi, NKVD and SS did, one suspected subversive at a time.”
Save this foolishness for a real cause, not to save some idiot who wore a fake bomb into an airport. You are so bent on protecting this probable hoaxter, that you have jumped over the edge, and pulled all common sense with you.
Just how does arresting someone who wears what could easily be mistaken for a bomb, into an airport, equate with the tactics of the Stasi, NKVD or SS?
And why was she carrying a handful of modeling clay?
This is prima facie evidence of her intention to look like she was wearing a bomb, and at Logan Airport of all places.
I’m dying to hear her explain that away, especially the modeling clay she was carrying as an accessory.
You deride our security forces, and maybe some things are deserving of your scorn... but this isn’t one of them.
And in case you didn’t realize it: you’re kind of a jerk.
Get it through your thick fascist skull. IT WAS NOT A FAKE BOMB!
It wasn't a bomb. She took no steps to try to persuade anyone that it was a bomb, but because security folks deluded themselves into thinking it might be a bomb she gets to go to prison.
I just looked out the window to the street. My car has a blinking red light going on inside. I suppose I should be locked up because it could be construed as a bomb by an itinerant donut muncher. Of course, it might look like the standard security alarm that comes as standard equipment on all late model cars, but once terrorists figure that out they could take off the shelf autos and wire them up to be bombs we are all in trouble. Other than the fact that there is nothing to make you think it is a bomb, the flashing red light is a great disguise because it looks just like a normal car.
So our security folks should go around blowing up normal looking cars, with that blinking red security light, to assure terrorists that they cannot hide bombs in normal looking cars.
Then we need to arrest the owners for staging a hoax and causing our donut munchers to become "alarmed."
