Was this a test run

[Winterborn]

I hope the police probe deeper and see if this dude has terrorist ties. To me this sounds like a test run for future attacks. I think it is quite possible to build a rectum deployed bomb that can wreck a plane.

Wired Iraqi man triggers scare at L.A. airport

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An Iraqi national wearing wires and concealing a magnet inside his rectum triggered a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday but officials said he posed no apparent threat.

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.

Maliki, 35, who lives in Atlantic City, New Jersey, was preparing to board a US Airways flight from Los Angeles to Philadelphia.

The flight left without Maliki but with his luggage aboard. It made an unscheduled landing in Las Vegas, where the plane was thoroughly searched but nothing was found, officials said.

Passengers were not evacuated and no flights were disrupted by the incident at Terminal One at Los Angeles airport.

"There never was a threat," Fetter said.

He said police and the FBI were called in from "an abundance of caution" because Maliki was "so bizarre in his behavior."

Maliki, who had a U.S. green card, was being questioned by immigration officials about his immigration status.

What would happen if he needed to go # 2 , wouldn't he end up being stuck on the toilet with the magnet up there ?

That's OK, this is one thread I'll skip the pictures for. :p

Maybe his doctor told him to increase his iron intake, and he was having trouble holding on to his $hit!

:p

Man, if this a new test run for some type of rectum bomb, we're all going to be up **** creek. It will put a new meaning on the old saying "he got his **** blown away. :D Oh well, that's enough for now, gotta go back to work now.

IMHO it's a very bad idea to monkey or even simulate terrorist attacks or tactics in public, unless it's a part of an already announced and organized LE drill.

Rectum? Hell, it damn near killed 'em! :p









Actually, my first thought when reading about this was that maybe he had a sex toy stuffed up his posterior.
