AUGUST 4--An Osama bin Laden disciple serving life in the United States's only "supermax" federal prison believes that jailers are putting his health in jeopardy by X-raying all his food trays and commissary items in search of contraband items. Convicted terrorist Mohamed Al-Owhali alleges that the Bureau of Prisons security measure unreasonably increases his "daily exposure to potentially carcinogenic radiation," which the al-Qaeda operative claims violates Eighth Amendment prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment. The 31-year-old Al-Owhali, who is being held at the "supermax" lockup in Florence, Colorado, was convicted of conspiring to bomb a U.S. embassy in Africa, an attack which resulted in more than 200 deaths. As TSG reported last year, Al-Owhali is not pleased with the severe restrictions at Florence, where he is housed in the Special Security Unit, home to a virtual Terrorists Row of inmates. He filed a pro se lawsuit alleging a laundry list of rights violations, including the denial of his beloved Walkman and certain English and Arabic publications. Al-Owhali began complaining about the "health consequences" of his irradiated grub earlier this year, and filed the below handwritten administrative appeal with BoP officials. His request that the X-raying be stopped was rejected by prison brass.

Um, it is PRISON. Not summer camp. Expectations/ disappointments.
Fine. Stop feeding him.
Shovel the pork rinds thru the slot in the door. No problem.
There is a significant amount of the populace of the USA that will relate and feel sorry for this note.
They should all have been on the 105th floor of the WTC to experience jihad first hand.
"...Al-Owhali is not pleased with the severe restrictions at Florence..."
FACT CHECKER: Most people who are in prison are not pleased about being in prison. Yes, that's true.
Al-Qaeda apparently did a horrible job in speaking of the consequences of getting caught. That should be his major bitch. Of course there are larger rocks to break in his future.
But irradiating food does not make it radioactive! It is harmless.
To be factual, he is not being harmed by X-ray checks of his food.
Why is he breathing?
In fact, irradiated food is healthier than other food, since radiation kills microorganisms.
O RLY?
lol
They could run everything through a potato ricer before feeding it to him, no x-rays involved.
Or serve him nothing but liquids (Gatorade and tomato soup, for instance, with chicken bullion powder).
There are many ways to comply with his demands.
“Al-Qaeda apparently did a horrible job in speaking of the consequences of getting caught.”
No, Al-Q said that if you are caught, become a major PIA and raise heck with whatever you can, especially the infidel legal system since you’ll find many sympathetic friends.
The victims have filed their own "lawsuit" alleging a list of rights violations, including the denial of a basic RIGHT TO LIVE.
and your point is??
You’re still Breathing, be GRATEFUL!!
If he complains again, we'll put all options on the table.
And compress them for a good film.
Smiling at you...now, that sounds like a plan.
Seriously though, in my opinion it’s just typical AQ global whining.
I’ve seen some shows on the supermax in Florence. Those bastards wear tracking devices at all times and live in complete isolation. A guy I went to high school with was sentenced there and he sobbed like a baby. A PIA is the last thing you become I believe.
