Wanna bet this passenger from Brazil had a connecting flight booked for New York this morning?

The Transportation Security Administration declined to identify the passenger, stating in a terse statement that the screener spotted something suspicious in a checked back at about 9 p.m. Thursday. “The passenger was located and is now in law enforcement custody,” TSA’s statement said.

More likely the guy was merely transporting some very, very, very expensive bull semen from a Brazilian cattle breeder.

The fruit of Brazil’s recent friendly overtures to MoHamHead terrorists and tyrants, e.g. Brazil pres. Lula’s hugfest with Iran’s Amadinajad.

Many of these situations I suspect are likely part of an organized effort to find out just what will, or won't, make it through the security screenings. The fact that it's checked luggage means, to me at least, that they want to find how best to package a bomb so as to avoid detection.

I can think of no other explanation for the stuff that was spotted the other day, deodorant cans taped together and that sort of thing. My guess is they're working at it from both directions, sending stuff they know will make it through the system on one hand and then other stuff they know will set off the alarms. And they will keep going up on one end and down on the other until they find the happy medium.

I would also expect them to have people trying to infiltrate those who do the screening.

This is a very determined enemy. An enemy with lots of time on its hands. It's not like they have to worry about working 8 hours a day, etc. For who knows how many hundreds or thousands of them their only job in life is to further their effort to mess with us, hopefully killing lots of us and destroying multi-million airplanes but if that takes a while then spend their time messing with us any way they can. Like shutting down a major airport for several hours, or making all of us stand in a screening line for long time, or making all of us take our shoes off before getting to the airside, or behaving in such a way as to alarm passenger enough to disrupt the boarding process. The list goes on and on.

Granted the vast majority of Muslims pose no threat to our way of life whatsoever and are thankful to Allah for the opportunity to enjoy life in the USA. But until those Muslims are willing to take a stand to condemn the actions of the minority, and help identify them so we can get them out of our midst, they can expect to suffer the same indignation we would pile up on the bad guys.

I would like to think there are people in the HSA and TSA that are alert to the myriad of possibilities to do us harm, but alas they are government, and in a large part UNION, people.
