Middle Eastern Man Boards Plane With Bomb Components... Everyone Else Harassed

Okay, nobody likes the airport screening measures. But at least when we go through the procedures we feel like we are contributing to airline security.

But now we find out that there was a Middle Eastern man who was allowed to get on a plane in Houston with the following:

  • hollowed out shoes,
  • a computer in his carry-on luggage that he originally denied having,
  • clock with a 9-volt battery taped to it

Meanwhile guys like me who are carrying no bomb making components get the business end of the metal detector wand from hell:

Man in the blue shirt: "Someone is going to owe me dinner after this."


Even babies get checked! Babies shouldn't get checked if Middle Eastern men with bomb making components are allowed to board the plane.

Well, maybe with the exception of this kid:

Come on Homeland Security guys! Let's get on the ball. It is amazing incidents are still occuring like that in Houston despite the fact that we have expensive screening crap like this:



"Beam Me Up, Scottie!"


Let's hope that Homeland Security has learned a lesson!
