Isn’t this ‘profiling’? /s

So if something is hidden in a piece of luggage next time, is that it for passenger air travel?

So they'll find another box of similar size. About the only thing this will really affect is if Osama bin Laden has a warehouse full of used printer cartridges he can't get rid of now.

In the mean time the terrorists will be thinking of other devices they can use to foil our "security".

Instead of banning all of these things why not focus on the real problem, like the very people that are trying to kill us. That would include those from Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

It would be much easier to ban those people and their so called products from EVER entering our country. End it!

Brilliant. Ok, so there will be toner cartridge bombs on planes. They will just find something else to make into a bomb...and when that gets banned they’ll find then something else...

I don’t know about you but I feel completely safe now.

Profile Print Cartridges, Not Muslims.

Can this Administration get any stupider? No, wait: let's not give them any encouragement...

You’ve got to wonder why a government agency would go to such trouble to make itself look ridiculous.

So now they will have 15 ounce cartridges????

I’ll pay attention to Janet Nappy when she bans Muzzies from flying in our planes & keeps them from coming to the USA altogether.

Imagine ordering a printer toner cartridge and only getting one filled with PETN [Pentaerythritol tetranitrate].

Using this logic, shouldn’t they also ban underwear and shoes?

Sadly, these morons actually think this will help.
