It is not a fake bomb
[Read the article: Is Star Simpson's "fake bomb" just an art jacket?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]A fake bomb would look like a real bomb. Ms. Star's star looked nothing like a bomb. A bomb, a real one, would be hidden or disguised. But then why would an airport security official know what a bomb looks like anyway?
It's incredible. This whole airport thing is just stupid anyway. The next attack, false flag or otherwise, will take place somewhere where there is not a lot of security, someplace like a shopping mall or a university.
Get used to it you morons, LED fashion is here and it here to stay.

How will the security robots respond the above?
And finally, is it really a good idea to shoot someone they think is wearing a bomb?
Yeah, man you just gotta make sure it's a head shot! - cheney

Star is Not the First MIT'er Who Got in Trouble

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Does anyone else remember Steve Mann?
This happened in Newfoundland in 2002. In their defence it was just a few months after 911 and Steve is a truly weird guy. But hey, ripping out his implants! That's a bit extreme!
Take my advice, take the bus, or better yet, buy a bike, and stop flying. Flying is killing the planet, faster and surer than terrorists! It's true, but hey why worry about hard to understand threat to humanity when you can actually rip out some geeks implants!
On March 14, 2002, Mann received world-wide news attention when The New York Times reported on an incident in which he was detained by security personnel at St. John's International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada while preparing to board an Air Canada flight to Toronto.[11] The article reported that Mann was strip-searched and his electronic implants were forcibly removed, disorienting him sufficiently to necessitate that he use a wheelchair... Mann has claimed that doctors advised him that the separation from his implants (some of which he had lived with for many years) could lead to brain damage - Wikipedia

If You Think This Girl Was 'Asking For It" or "Stupid"

[Read more letters about this article: Here]You better pray to whatever evil g_ds you believe in that you don't own a Casio watch!
Drop the watch! Don't move asshole!
MSNBC is reporting that the DHS and the FBI issued a warning to the Transportation Security Administration today stating that al-Qaida may attempt to use watches with cigarette lighters or Casio watches with built-in altimeters to detonate bombs on board US airliners.
"Recent intelligence suggests al-Qaida has expressed interest in obtaining wristwatches with a hidden butane-lighter function and Casio watches with an altimeter function. Casio watches have been extensively used by al-Qaida and associated organizations as timers for improvised explosive devices. The Casio brand is likely chosen due to its worldwide availability and inexpensive price."

This is What a Real Bomb Looks Like
[Read the article: Is Star Simpson's "fake bomb" just an art jacket?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]http://www.univie.ac.at/cga/art/shoe_bomb3.gif
This is a "shoe" bomb, as actually used by an actual terrorist. Real terrorists, hide their bombs. Do all the people who think Ms. Star should have been tackled/arrested/shot and/or tasered, think that we should do this to all those "suspicious" people, "stupid" enough to wear running shoes to airports? After all a running shoe actually looks like a real bomb, it does. I repeat a real bomb looks exactly like an ordinary running shoe!
Would it not be a better use of limited resources to target people who look like they are carrying a real bomb than those who are wearing something that looks nothing like a bomb?
No, actually it doesn't. No terrorist in his or her right mind would try the shoe trick. Besides the next attack will absolutely not be at airport, it will be someplace where the security is weak.
Of course the real answer to true airport security is very very simple. Impeach Bush and prosecute him for war crimes. Withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan. Work closely with your good good friends in Israel for a fair solution to the occupation of Palestinian lands. That way when the actor who plays Bin Laden says, "Hey guys, let's kill Musharef", most people will reply, "Why? What's the problem?". Good question. What is the problem America? Your policies maybe? hmmm

Blunderdog, Please Post the Video of the Woman Getting Pepper Sprayed
[Read the article: Taser nation]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It did not happen unless it's on video. No one will care or even notice unless you post the video.
If Andrew Myer was not on tape, then this discussion, useless as it is in bushworld, a world where even the dems censure moveon.org for doing its job, would never happen.
Instead the headline would have read, "Mentally Disturbed Man Removed by Police for Threatening Kerry", and none of us would have blinked.
