NOT a Terrorist Training Run

There are no signs that this was a test of US airport security, according to the AP:
  • When Customs officials discovered one passenger was not on the flight from Dulles to Dubai, they called the plane back to the gate and removed his luggage.
Because unaccompanied luggage never ever explodes in the belly of an airplane...

  • It was then they discovered suspicious items in his bag, a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, multiple cell phones and watches taped together,....
Because a cell phone couldn't possibly be used as a trigger or something...

  • ...and a knife and box cutter, according to another U.S. official who had been briefed on the investigation.
Because a box cutter could never be a problem on an airplane, right?

At least we know which side the media is cheering for. Willful blindness.

It gives them something to report!

They get tired of reporting on how unhappy people are with the current administration, how the economy continues it's roller coaster undulations and how the Tea Party is finally showing some muscle.

Those things don't give the TV viewer something interesting to look at, but the sight of burning aircraft debris and a screaming, crying widow, NOW THAT'S TV!

If it bleeds, it leads.

Thanks to CAIR (another terrorist front) and other do gooders, the TSA is afraid to really screen Muslims.

I see it all the time when I work Special at O'Hare.

They crawl all over granny in the wheelchair, while Farouk and Ahmed stroll through in their khakis and button down shirts with big smirks on their mugs.

Time to call a spade a spade, Muslims are the cause of all terrorism here (and overseas)

I looked up "probable cause" in the dictionary and there it was.... A cell phone taped to a bottle of Pepto-Bismol stomach relief medication would be an excellent (but albeit) a bit far-reaching example of probable cause for any terrorist activity. If this activity involved an airport we would reccomend that all air traffic would be immediately suspended.........ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??????? What do you think he was doing? Even that moron Carouthers knows what he was doing asswipe. For fuck sake when is someone going to let the only one I'm aware of, and I'm retired, still in authority, Jimmy Jackson, take the reigns of this sinking fucking ship before both airports blow to kingdom come. I'm sure every terrorist in america knows we have nitwits running this outfit.

I think this administration wants another 9/11 because it will deflect how incompetent, green, and arrogant this empty suit President running this country really is. Obama will go down in history as the worst President ever.

According to them we are in a economic recovery right now. LMAO, Joe Bags needs to take a nap right now.

Its a joke that the FBI or whoever the government agency was, said these taped up phones and bottles were "presents for family members" wtf. Yeah I usually tape things together that could also operate as a bomb for my relatives. The disrespect to the intelligence of Americans is serious. Don't let it happen again.

Note to feds: not every terrorist has a record.
People adopt beliefs and run with it.
You even teach in the terrorist training that they recruit newbies or people who don't have any type of record on file.
I'm appalled at the feds and media for down-playing this senario. You people are so f#ucking stupid it makes me sick. This is a prime example of the idiots we have running this country in the white house and the puppy shit media that drools over them. I say good riddance to you in Nov.Vote GOP or get the tea party in there....they only seem to be the ones who want to protect this country.....Obama could care less.

Uh...I have had a soldering iron in my hand since I was nine years old, and that's not just a cell phone in the top photo you show; the little tan circuit board taped to it appears to have been snipped from a larger piece -- it's "perf board," sold by Radio Shack and others for elecronic experimenters. I see at least two integrated circuits and a resistor on the board; you stick the leads of the components through the holes and solder everything together on the other side.

This is not a commercial device, but something homemade, added to the phone. TO DO WHAT?

Phone was taped to a bottle, three other cell phones taped together, watches taped to cell phones, box cutters, and knives.

Typical harmless tourists.

You'd think these characters would be paraded as proof of our vigilance, proof that the security system works.

Why is our government putting this spin on the story? I think it's because Janet Napolitano doesn't want to be humiliated again.

"Sec. Napolitano was criticized[34] for stating in an interview with CNN's Candy Crowley that, 'the system worked' with regard to an attempted terrorist attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 approaching Detroit, Michigan on Christmas Day 2009. She later went on NBC's Today Show with host Matt Lauer and admitted that the security system had indeed failed.[35]"

She's busier watching us here at home than she is keeping an eye on the Middle East. Easier to do --
those other guys talk Arabic or something and who knows who they really are or where they come from.

"Napolitano was the subject of controversy after a Department of Homeland Security threat assessment report...entitled "Rightwing [sic] Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,"[27] was made public in April 2009. The report suggested several factors, including the election of the first black or mixed race President in the person of Barack Obama, perceived future gun control measures, illegal immigration, the economic downturn beginning in 2008, the abortion controversy, and disgruntled military veterans' possible vulnerability to recruitment efforts by extremist groups as potential risk factors regarding right-wing extremism recruitment...Napolitano made multiple apologies for any offense veterans groups had taken at the reference to veterans."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janet_Napolitano

Not a leader, just another "manager" here -- who "manages" by stumbling around and repeating "Excuse me."

More of a threat to us than to anyone else. I think the phrase I'm looking for is "hostile and incompetent."

You're an idiot. "Muslims are the cause of all terrorism here (and overseas)" That is by far one of the most ignorant comments I've ever read.

Do I really have to post example after example of other people who claim to use religion to justify their action? From Matthew Hale to the Jewish Defense League which had member arrested and convicted of committing "religiously motivated crimes"

And aside from those that use religion as a means to justify their actions, how about the West Side gang banging 4 corner hustler shooting another non intended victim? Or the Drug Cartels that are killing thousand and thousands of people? Are you telling me "Muslims" are are responsible for those forms of terrorism as well?

You my friend are one sorry ignorant individual who I'm sure due to your ignorance, have had your fair share of beefs all because of your narrow minded seemingly uneducated thought process.

An Irish Catholic member of the CPD.

Oh, I gotcha, SCC. The photo of the cell phone with homemade circuit board added was probably not from this latest incident, but was presented as an example from some earlier investigation. OK. Comment still stands; next time the taped-up cell phones would have had triggers like this, and next time it wouldn't have been Pepto-Bismol in that bottle.

Yeah, this was an advance team, a probe. They're apparently just going to let them go. There were/are people held for years at Guantanamo for less than this.

OFF TOPIC:

Lieutenant’s Lawsuit Update!

[www.chicagosergeants.org/alerts.html]

Our attorneys were in Federal Court on 31 Aug, 2010 to file the Temporary Restraining Order for the upcoming promotions to Lieutenant.
The city filed an answer and has promised Judge Dow that the city wants the class to start on 07 Sept 2010, but that no Lieutenant will be sworn in prior to 01 Oct, 2010.
The Judge will hear the city’s witness on 10 Sept and indicated he will conduct a status hearing on the Association’s request for the TRO on 15 Sep 2010. Depositions that should have been completed by now will begin shortly.
As more information becomes available it will be posted.

My lithuanian mailman can barely speak english, he's only been here 40 or 50 years, we're hours from Chgo, I've never seen him read, not even envelopes and yesterday he waited for me to get back from the store to tell me there is a baadmaan poleeeec in cheekago. March and make heeem gowaaay. Yea you weeel. A man who fled nazi's as a child want to make sure I go march with all the police and help scare the BAD police away. BTW, he's offered to help us scare. He'd me if he marching toward me. So in closing, I don't think I exposed any soft spots to terrorists. After all we've got most of their cousins on any corner where the smokers among us can still cop. Or not. maybe we'll all be blow away in 10 minutes and it's on me. Sorry ahead of time.
