Man charged with bomb parts in luggage
In a way, it is good to know that they actually screened those checked bags. I was always skeptical about how many they honestly scanned.
Yesterday, the FBI arrested a 32-year-old Jamaican man because he allegedly tried to board a plane at Orlando International Airport with pipe bomb components and instructions in his checked luggage, Reuters reports. Agents found two galvanized pipes, end caps, two small containers of air gun pellets, batteries, two containers of an unknown liquid, a laptop computer and bomb-making literature.
Bomb-making literature? Is that a part of the "self-help" book genre?

Catch one terrorist and the media brings on sh$$ loads of experts to tell the world how he got caught so no one else will bet caught by the same tactic. Yep, them folks in the media are looking out of the folks, if the folks are terrorists.

Greetings:
Thanks Scrapiron. Your comments match mine. They even go to the extent of voiceing their instructions as to how and where to place and when to place a dirty bomb for the most effect in new york city for the best effect. These experts should keep their mouths closed on certain issues to proetct this great nation and its people. But no, they continue to let out as to how they went about capturing these terrorists. Keep it up.

This guy looks like a true militant with a chip on his shoulder that spells death to anything he doesn't agree with. Where's everyone that's normally bitching about their luggage being mishandled or their inconvenience boarding and how inept the TSA is? This is what it's all about people! These anti humanity assholes want to kill you & your children!! Thank you president Bush & the brave servants on our side who thwart their efforts.. Man, what a world anymore!

If he really thought that he could get away with this nonsense after 911...He is a moron of man.

Anyone still have a problem with "profiling"?
If they had NOT found anything on this guy, you can bet there would be people making a big stink about the guy being singled out just for the way he looks.
Well...LOOK at him! That IS "the" look!! What if they let him slide just to avoid looking bad for singling him out for his appearance.
As you can clearly see, things like this continue to happen and the "profile" FITS!
Let me add, I think mounting pressure on the TSA to do a better job of hiring competent and qualified personnel is starting to pay off. They need to keep up the effort to weed out the slackers who have been hired too quickly and not properly screened and also poorly trained and passed training while sleeping through it.

to the moron that thanked bush. if it werent for bush we wouldnt have a huge increase in the psychos that attack us. he admitted going into iraq was a mistake. 1000s of american lives lost for this pathetic losers ego. im glad they caught yet another america hater. thank bush for making their job harder. to scrapiron, did you read what you typed before you posted it?
Jerry Apr 4th 2008 11:27AM
We have been attacked by terrorists since the 1970's, long before Bush. Terrorists have one mission, bring the world back to the 1400's. They cannot be coddled. Terrorism is their job, just like we all have careers, killing women, children, whites, blacks and fellow musslims. This is their job. They get paid for it. What did Bush have to do with the London bombing, the Russian school bombing, our soldiers being bombed in Beruit and tons more. What does Bush have to do with the slaughter of Africans. It does not matter who is or was president, their job is to create terror.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if this is a made up story to show how "vigilant" the TSA is, and to scare us more so we act like sheep when we travel.
joe Apr 2nd 2008 11:57PM
Well lets tell everyone how to beat the system like the media does. Then wonder how these idiots came up with the idea in the 1st place.
Lester Apr 3rd 2008 12:54AM
Mark-
Thousands of lives lost.......? Yes and fewer than in peace time. That's right. Fewer have died per year in military service during this war than any yearly number during peacetime since 1985. THAT"S a fact! I don't like the war; any war. I also don't like those SOBs coming here, let alone blowing up 3000 people. We are free to live here only because the military pays the price for all of us. We owe every freedom we have to our US Military and Coast Guard and those that served before them. And if anypne reading this agrees with me, then the next time you see a person in Military or CG uniform, walk up to them, offer a handshake and tell them, "Thank you for all you are doing for America." They will appreciate it!
G'Day!
Arlene Apr 3rd 2008 8:08AM
Amen Lester!! Thank you for a common sense approach to our world's problem with terrorists. My husband and I always buy the meals of Military personnel that we see in restaurants and are sure to thank them for their service. People have no idea what are men and women in the Military are doing for us. I thank God and President Bush for them.
Moe! Apr 3rd 2008 12:58AM
Well, congradulations for finding something more deadly than the lady with the nipple rings they embarrased last week.
DL Apr 3rd 2008 5:27AM
I don't like the war but I am glad that there is someone out there that will fight for me and my family. Military Appreciaton Day is coming soon. I don't know if you guys know about ARMAD but you can go to http://www.infonextlive.com and go to the news and politics page to find out more abour ARMAD and what u can do to lshow your appreciation.
This soldiers must do as they are told or face jail so I for one appreciate them...I do hope the war ends but I am extremly happy that they caught the guy at the airport.

What 'profile'??
Black guys? Jamaicans?
People named 'Kevin Brown'?
You are an idiot.

They should have shot the slug on the spot. The Bush haters would make excuses for the thug and give him food stamps.
Eric Apr 3rd 2008 6:39AM
It is only as dangerous as it currently is because a soft Democrat led congress passes weak legislation and liberal laweryt want to proctect terrorist and pretend they have rights! Wake up people the Constitution say We the People of the United States...
