As Norm says, we spend billions of dollars inconveniencing the American public and making things safe we think, said Dicks' spokesman, George Behan. Then a 9-year-old comes walking through. The kid is also smart enough to put blame on a sex offender living near him.

Just imagine a 9 year old Muslim boy with a bomb strapped to himself under his jacket.

Good grief. Stole a boarding pass, finagled two free airline flights, stole a car, led police on a 90 MPH chase, blew the engine, and he's only 9 years old?
What will he manage to accomplish when he's 18?

I really don't go for all the merriment on Southwest flights.

Maybe he's really small for his age. That would make it easy for him to sneak aboard, hide in a crowd, etc.

Two flights and a car chase in a stolen car?
Can't wait until this one grows up.

Just imagine a 9 year old Muslim boy with a bomb strapped to himself under his jacket.My first thought as well. Next time it won't be a dry run.

Nobody thinks that a 9 year old is brazen enough to do something like this. If a kid that age shows up looking innocent and claims that he can't find his mom, people will fall all over themselves helping him get through the security and rigamarole. Islamics are not above using little kids for terrorism, so take note.
To: mtbopfuyn
The kid is reportedly an expert player of the Gran Turismo 4 video game.
Something tells me he doesn't sit around and read books all day.

If a kid that age shows up looking innocent and claims that he can't find his mom, people will fall all over themselves helping him get through the security and rigamarole. Especially after that incident where the Southwest flight attendant took a little girl off at Orlando, a stop too soon.

This kids sounds like a genius. I hope he doesn't get "educated" into something useless by the public schools, or co-opted by gangs.

Maybe we should check his DNA.

Right ... I posted a couple of days ago that he should be picked up and groomed for something great.
Basically, he's
smarter than the average bear.

"Semaj" is James, backward.
I suspect this kid is bound for great things,
Secretary General of the U.N. for starters.

What was probably needed was a good spanking before the age of three.Wait till he hits the teens better reserve a cell for him now.

This relatively short article has so many topics. Kid gets slips through the system, 90 mph car chase, afraid of verified sex offender, being held in "center for runaways in Bexar County" like that is a regular problem in Bexar County. James spelled backwards. I get the drift this kid's mother is a real kook to boot. Where did she think he was all this time? Did she report her child missing?
