The T.S.A. has some splaining to do. Al Soofi from Yemen was allowed to board a flight in Chicago even though he generated security concerns. In his luggage was a cellphone wired to a pepto bismol bottle. Maybe all those annoying telemarketing calls gave him indigestion, but more than likely it was a test to see if a remote detonating device would be picked up by security. Apparently it wasn't considered to be a bomb, although it wasn't sent to a lab for testing. He was allowed to continue flying with his luggage, but later was arrested on his way to Dubai. The last two terrorist attempts were foiled not by well equipped, well funded, well trained security agents, but by inept, inexperienced clowns with explosive underwear and a barbecue grill in their S.U.V. Now we got a guy testing us to see if we can detect a bomb in his luggage, and the T.S.A. just figures he got gas or something. What an abysmal record for Homeland Security. Janet Napolitano should be sucking down a case of pepto right about now.
