*clears throat*

OK, since I saw no mention of this, I'll go ahead and add to the story the fact that this girl was holding a clump of playdough.

I realize most posters on this thread are pretty unfamiliar with IED's and their components, but this is black and white stupid. On the off chance that people do know about IEDs, here's a picture of what she was walking around with:

http://www.signs-of-the-times.org/ar...ough+bomb+hoax

So she has a bunch of loose wires connected to a nine volt and a large clump of unidentified organic mass, and she should be allowed to walk around? People that walk into airports smuggling IEDs and suicide belts do so with some kind of intelligence in hiding this shit. The Israelis still catch them. This fucking retard walks into an airport with look-a-like IED components that have been used in real bombs and people want to shed tears for her?

I work in counter-terrorism and much of my job deals with identification of these devices and folks, this shit isn't a joke and it's not art. What she walked in with could have been wired to detonate Semtex plastic explosives if she had one more component. Police and security officers don't really give a shit if you have one or all of the components to detonate an IED. If you have the explosive materials or something that looks like them in conjunction with wiring and a battery; no.

This was just stupid and she was lucky as a mother fucker that she cooperated exactly with what airport police told her to do. Otherwise she would have been shot and it would have been completely and utterly justified.

It's just like people who pour sympathy into the goofball that got up on a plane and told everyone he was going to blow them all up, then grabbed his bag and started running and was shot by an air marshall. His actions were protocol and in the event that someone really did have a bomb in their bag, well... there's only one way to find that out and it's ugly.

Terrorism isn't a joke. IED look-a-likes aren't artwork. You play with armed authorties and purposely push the boundries, you're playing a dangerous game with your life.

This girl is VERY lucky to be alive.
