Iraqi Caught at LAX With Magnet, Wires Hidden Up Butt

Story here.

The man, identified by law enforcement officials as Fadhel al-Maliki, 35, set off an alarm during passenger screening at the airport early on Tuesday morning.

A police bomb squad was called to examine what was deemed a suspicious item found during a body cavity search of the man. Local media reports said a magnet was found in his rectum.

“He was secreting these items in a body cavity and that was a great concern because there were also some electric wires associated with that body cavity,” Larry Fetters, security director for the Transportation Security Administration at the airport, told reporters.


Hmm... an Iraqi national. At LAX. Secreting bomb-related materials inside his hiney hole. What if the rest of the material was smuggled onboard a plane by another jihadist? What if a jihadist working at the airport or on the plane planted the rest of the materials? Then the jihadist, if he passed thru security, could get up, pretend to have to take a dump, go to the little jihadists' room, construct the bomb and... kaboom!

Yet authorities immediately claimed he's not a threat. But of course. They know full well in reality that he very likely is indeed a threat. Duh! The truth is that they'll come out right away and tell the MSM that "There's no terrorism. Nothing to see. Don't worry; be happy. Run along now." and proceed to get back to the investigation they must do to actually become able to tell whether the guy's a threat or not. Then, often, without telling the MSM and the public, they quietly classify the incidents as "terrorism".

Well, at least they're doing their job while preventing unnecessary public panic. And at least bloggers like myself can figure out for ourselves from the facts whether something is terror-related or not... or "very likely" terror-related, to paraphrase the IPCC climate change alarmists... and we can post our findings/analyses for others' benefit.

Who needs the MSM? They'll tell us what they were told and what they chose to believe without question. I ask questions. I doubt. That's part of the difference between bloggers and MSMers.

I have a feeling that even if the authorities let the guy off scot free, they're keeping an eye on him... hopefully he'll lead them to other jihadists, if indeed he is a jihadist.

Well, anyone who attempts to board a plane with bomb-related material secreted up his ass deserves to be placed under surveillance at least.
