I heard of the Iraqi butt map, but the Iraqi butt magnet? What is he, a compass? Does his dick point south all the time?

Also, they mentioned that his status in the U.S. has expired and he’s now here illegally.

Update – this morning the LA news station mentioned that his status is of a ‘legal permanent resident’.

I’m thinking ‘test run’….how else will they know what will make it thru security and what won’t.

Woah, imagine what all Gore probably marched by security a few days ago when they didn’t screen him! Probably couldn’t see any wires because the kick start was taking up all the room on the x-ray machine.

… oh com’on!

Jokes about it are inevitable, but the question remains, was this little more than a mule doing a “dry run” to see what may or may not get caught in the screenings?

Why is the thought of some nut, bending over on an airplane grabbing his ankles and yelling out “I am hijacking this plane” seeems like it could happen.
The world has changed.

I think that this was another terrorist dry-run. We are all lucky. This could have given new meaning to “blow it out your ass.”

really hope you’re wrong. I travel…A LOT. However, nothing would surprise me with airport screening anymore. Yes, I greet all new regulations with dull surprise.

Sorry but it will be absolutely necessary now to check every passenger with an endoscope before boarding the airplane.

They can’t have an effective security policy if they give every passenger one unsearchable pocket. How can they claim that it’s safe to fly if a North Carolina trial lawyer can board the airplane with a concealed ak-47 and a half dozen hand grenades?

Well, there are people who beleive magnets have curative properties. They even sell magnetic wristbands, and magnets that go in your shoes to cure all sorts of ailments. So I can find it plausible that perhaps this guy was using a magnet to cure some internal malady. As far as his luggage goes; it gets it’s own screening before being loaded, right? It probably passed screening so went on the plane. But anyone wanna take a bet that this time tomorow CAIR will have issued a press release denouncing this incident as islamophobia and demanding reperations? Wouldn’t be surprised if that was his intention all along. Or could be a dry run with the intent of making scanners not pay close attention to metal objects up one’s bum.

Wires, magnets, devices, orifices.

This is unusual in L.A.?

UK Mullah Advocates Beheading…

Another mullah openly embracing violent jihad. This one is particularly vile because the cleric justifies the murderous beheading of Ken Bigley. No one in the mosque objects. LGF has more. Hat tip, Hot Air, Hey Maliki, where did you hide…

I’m surprised no one has mentioned those wires were his simply his headphones. Doesn’t everybody store their headphones that way. (The two earbuds must have been lost in some other orifice.)

The precedent has now been set where they will have to look in everyones’ ass now as part of the airport screening process.

Maybe that was the whole intention. That in itself could be this guy’s terrorist act.
