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

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.

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

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...

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.

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?!
