Dutch police have detained two men who flew from Chicago to Amsterdam on Sunday night after U.S. screeners found suspicious-looking items in their checked luggage before they departed, U.S law enforcement officials said.

...fling from Birmingham? If they had a fling in B'ham, wouldn't they be risking their heads?

Looking at these faces; and you get the feeling they have not just ‘practiced’ terrorism.

WaPo just added the names to the article. I’m sure it pained them to no end.

A marital aid is an odd item. A stuffed parrot is an odd item. You're the TSA guy who went through my luggage, aren't you? Look, I can explain about the corset, the tutu, and the rubber snake. They were gifts. Uh...for Mom. Yeah, that's it.

That said. . .the headline is a bit insulting; in that it appears a smudge of story. (
'odd items' turn up in luggage?) Kind of makes you not want to read the freaking story. OTOH. . .the MIA 'B' word is an attention getter.
The final insult. . .the last sentence:
"We don't know yet if these two end up being bad guys or are just really strange people," said one official.
For sure, IMHO; 'strange' does not begin to describe their appearance in photos.
Their story easily leads one to 'bad'. ..and much worse. And nothing strange about that.

The Washington Post muzzie-apologist writer pretends terror plotters on Chicago-Amsterdam flight aren't muslims by refusing to print their names. ????
The link above to the Washington Post does show an article with both their names.
Did that change from an earlier edition?
Did embarrassment affect them?
Did you imagine the whole thing?

A classic WP story. It’s just “ODD ITEMS” that somehow happened to “TURN UP” in their luggage.
Kind of like American Airlines Flight 11 “turned up” in the World Trade Center North Tower in September 2001.

They are so pitifully, disgusting. . .

Depends. Figuring top Muzzie terrorists send others off to get their own virgins, maybe having a fling is ok also. I just want to know how you explain it to your 60 wives.

From the comments at ABC...
...Doesn't anyone care about the "box cutter and three large knives"?! Holy cow. These guys weren't just oddballs with a tape fetish.
And Pepto-Bismol isn't as innocent as it sounds: Bismuth is the heaviest non-radioactive metal in terms of atomic weight (in fact it was recently discovered to be ever so slightly radioactive itself). It would show up as opaque in an X-ray, like lead or uranium. There was method to their madness.
