fun with LAX security
 

boink!

He may have been testing security measures for something more sinister, but he may also have just been a wacko.

just a dumbass if you ask me..

seriously. The thought process alone with going to an airport with something like that SHOVED UP YOUR ASS. He deserves all the harrasment he gets.

Shows how far our freedoms have been abridged, a middle eastern man can't even walk through an airport xray machine with a magnet-wrapped-in-coiled-wire device in his rectum anymore without drawing suspicion. Sheesh.

What is worse is that the idiots let his bags continue on the plane without him, which is kinda against the rules. His bags should have been removed and traveled on the same plane with him, especially as he was under investigation.

He would have sailed through SFO.

Only if the objects were gerbils.

Don't you guys know? This is the optional upgrade after tin-foil hat, allowing for dual protection from either end...

i agree, he is actually a good friend of Tom Cruise and trying out some new scientology stuff so he can give Tom some anal feedback.

Magnetic gerbils? For their "therapeutic properties"?

And there's a problem with that? I'm not sure I want to share my next flight with someone wired up the ass.

Maybe if I could bring aboard a big-ass capacitor...

Ok, I nearly shot milk out my nose readying this post. LMAO!

Jeff, are you oscillating?

Magnet + Coil of wire = ability to produce an electric current.
Presence of a flammable gas (especially after eating airline food and reduced cabin pressure).

Sounds like the airport authorities caught up with a potential @ss-gas flamethrower!

I don't think I'd want to be anywhere near this guy regardless of what he was.

He was from Jersey. I think that 'splains a lot.

I flew from Toronto to Vancouver on Feb. 22. There was a problem with the emergency door (stuck closed?). Rows 12 to 18 ( I was in 16) had to de-plane. They stuck us on another plane and away we went. There was NO way they took our luggage off the plane. When I got to Vancouver the luggage from my original flight was in the carousel. Lo and behold my luggage was also there.

Gosh, doesn't airport security understand anything about middle-eastern prostate therapy treatments?!

:D

Likely it is just a way to get materials on the plane. You have several people sneak items which are innocuous by themself..but when combined are dangerous. After passing the xray machine, you remove the items and pass all to a single individual in a bathroom where they can be assembled prior to boarding.
