Chris Plante is going to be all over this on Monday...
“Maybe a little profiling wouldn’t hurt’’. Yes indeed, you’re darn right but you know the PC crowd won’t tolerate it. Time to really start roughing up those grandmothers and WW2 vets getting on a plane for their first trip to see their grandkids.’’ Think they can put one over on Homeland Security... huh, what..who’s that.. “The Al-Qeada International Silver String Submarine Terrorist Band? Nah, They’re ok, no need to search ‘em. Wave ‘em through’’. Now back to you Pops. WW2 vet huh? Silver Star winner huh? Yeah, thats what they all say. Have a seat and take off your shoes..’’. How much more of this crap from the ROPis the civilizied world supposed to put up with?
“Has the FBI assured us that there’s no terrorism angle yet?”
No, that comes later this morning ;-)
Thank God for bumbling terrorists.
“Religious ceremony?”
Yes. A “Death to Infidels” ceremony.
” Officials described the device as incendiary rather than explosive, pending tests by forensics experts at the FBI. Incendiary devices generally deliver less of an impact than explosive devices.”
Sure they do. Just ask Janet Reno about incendiary devices at Waco.
Digust and hatred of political correctness, is also a worldwide phenomenon.
Fellow Freepers, Lurkers, Fellow Americans, just check in with what some of the British are saying about this situation involving one of these Muslim "youths" studying in one of their universities in London, on his way to kill nearly 300 people or more in Detroit yesterday (from UK newspaper, 26 December / Online Times):

L S.A wrote: I agree airport security in Lagos, Nigeria is little more than a joke but what about at Amsterdam where this crazy guy boarded the plane. As a young man travelling alone, he should have been profiled and double checked anyway!!!
Memosa Spring wrote: What I don't understand is that hsould I happen to have an ingrown toe nail while I'm travelling somehow the security screening picks that up! How can it not pick up what he was carrying? I know Nigeria quite well. Security there is a joke. Just give a gaurd a cheap ball point pen and they'll let you into the departure lounge with whatever you want! Give them just one USA $ and they'll give you a box of matches ot go with it! Those who know Nigerian airports- especially LAGOS will know exactly what I'm saying.
Richard Beardsley wrote: Geoff POwell: the fact that he boarded a plane somewhere else is not the issue, yes the Americans could have kept a better tab on him but how many "students" are currently exploring the UK and taking an interest in the architecture of large important buildings. How many students are not studying? What is the average attendance in class? You would do nothing to harm the UK, neither would I. However not everyone has the same ideals. The underfunded army is doing what it can but this current problem makes the Irish problem fade into insignificance.
Geoff POwell wrote: Why don't you people read the article properly. He flew from Nigeria, the fact that he's studying at a British university has no relevance here at all. US intelligence knew about him, he was flying on a US airline and he changed in Amsterdam. The UK authorities have no part in the failure to stop this guy.
Richard Beardsley wrote: I love reading the Times beacause there are things covered that are not published in Australian sites and it's good to know what is happening elsewhere.This is worrying when the average bloke can see a pattern occurring here. Student from overseas, already on a watchlist, extremely religious, why is the UK so weak in naning and shaming these groups. Have we got so bogged down in Human Rights issues that we dare not offend a minority religious group that the majority of people in the UK already know who they are. The whole backbone of what used to be British has gone. No I'm not a fanatic or bigot, just seeing how the UK is when viewed from another country. Wake up before it's too late, if it's not already."
If memory serves, the DBM called this a nothing story at first with the “firecracker take”. Later yesterday on
FNC I heard there might be a terror connection. We now have to carry the drivebys since they can't get anything right,too busy lying about everything to make ozero look like he really is in charge.
