Terrorist Event at LAX, Los Angeles

[Scooter]

Yesterday at about 3:30, an Arab, actually an Iraqi National was stopped at security and held for investigation, having allegedly secreted an "explosive device" in a body cavity.

I have many body orafices, but only one body cavity.

Later it was determined that the device was harmless and consisted of a rock, some chewing gum, and some wires. The materials were tested to be authentic and the man was released, albeit with an immigration hold as his Visa may have expired. He stated that he places the items there "to relieve stress" and that the rock was from another planet. Other flights were not impacted (bad choice of words).

I have many questions:

1. How did it get up there? I mean does the guy insert it up there himself or does his wife help?

2. If its to relieve stress, why does he need all three items? Can't you just imagine, "Honey, I'm really stressed out, have you seen my rock?"

3. Who removed them? I hope the TSA guy got paid a bonus. I think they do need a Union now.

4. Who tested the gum? I hope the guy got a bonus for that too. What flavor was it? Juicy Fruit? Black Jack? Double Mint? Bazooka?

5. If the rock was from another planet, which planet? Perhaps Uranus?

I know if I wanted to implant an explosive device in that area, I would just eat a Burrito, wait 6 hours, and carry a lighter.

Call for the Preparation H. Quite clearly the man suffers from the worst case of asteroids seen at LAX in many a moon.

Oh and maybe the gum was for his pet Gerbil "Raggit".

Scooter,
Don't think that the TSA, the FBI and the entire Homeland Security circus aren't considering this a real threat. These items together would look like a bomb on the new x-ray machines which they've started using at select airports. Obviously, LAX is one of those airports, hence the discovery of the unusual suppossitory(sp). It seems to me to be a pretty clear "test run" for some future operation.
You can't prosecute a guy for stuffing stuff up his butt, but I imagine that someone is trying to figure out how to send him off to GitMo even as I'm typing this.

Shaughnn, he's an Iraqi that drew their attention. I think that may be enough to send him these days.

Here's an article that you may agree with from one of my "kooky" sites:

Dan,
I don't think that the sites you read are "kooky". Heck, I might even agree with some of the points made. I only drew attention to the reliance of the author on his own writting to validate his views. This Lew Rockwell site is guilty of the same writting crime. It severely diminishes the credibility of the author when they make such mistakes. I'd like to see them step outside of their "comfort zone" and subject their writtings to the threshingfloor of real scholarly debate rather than a cloistered conversation amoung identical minded friends.
