When I read he was from ACY, I was just waiting to see who the first wise arse would be to suggest that.

Looks like you won!!

Don Pardo tell him/her what they've won. You've won an all expense paid vacation to Camden New Jersey, That's right sunny Camden with the highest per capita crime rate in America, Accomodations are on the White Horse Pike and just for you they've agreed to waive the sheet charge.

Second prize is TWO weeks in Camden.

Come on Piney, all in good fun.
Thought the prize was Dinner of choice in AC? Have a few places in mind either in the Casinos or in the City. Might even take the hour and half ride down the GSP this weekend.

So why was this man's bag on a flight he was not on....

Why was his bag not removed in LAX? You would think TSA would have notified US much sooner and the bag removed in LAX. The article said he was pulled at 530AM and the flight left at 630AM. So what is taxi time in LAX, 10-15 minutes? So they had at least 1:10 minutes to notify. I would think it is common practice to alert airlines much sooner.

Furthermore, if the bag had already been "screened" by the TSA (according to the news story), then having to divert a flight to remove a previously screened bag doesn't elicit a lot of confidence in the TSA bag screening process.

Maybe they tried, but all personell were dealing with the ripple effect of the kiosk meltdown.

If he would have just used a felching gerbil instead of magnets he could have avoided all of these problems.

If that's the case, I ask them to check my prostrate, get that check up out of the way.

Well, the answer to the first half of that question is that there is no requirement for positive passenger bag matching on domestic flights. As for why he had a magnet crammed up his butt, only he knows....

Wait, but there's more to this story than meets the eye: :blink: "Bum"mer!

Apparently Fadhel Al-Maliki, formerly a security guard, had purchased his one-way ticket with cash, which made him a selectee. He claims that the items secreted were therapeutic, which included a half-inch magnet, gum, wire, a napkin and a rock! The Joint Terrorist Task Force ruled out that this was a “dry runâ€￾, similar to those of the 9/11 hijackers.

Maybe he had some Ass-Pennies up there.

But copper is non-ferrous, rendering Butt-Magnets ineffective.

Ass Pennies

When you stick a penny in your ass so that through the circulation of money, random people in society will have been in you ass. See also pooh-dollar.

1. I've been sticking $30 in pennies up my ass for the past 11 years! That's 3,000 pennies a day; 21,000 pennies a week; 1,092,000 pennies a year! To date that's 12,012,000 pennies, 8 times the population of Nebraska. Those pennies were in my ass! You think you're better than me? Oh, you're not better than me. You handle my ass pennies everyday. You pick up my ass pennies for good luck. You throw my ass pennies in fountains and make wishes on them.

Deportation for Man in Airport Scare

Tuesday March 13, 2007


LOS ANGELES (AP) - An Iraqi immigrant faces deportation after triggering a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport when authorities found a suspicious device lodged in his body, officials said.

Fadhel Al-Maliki, 35, of Atlantic, N.J., prompted the alert March 6 during a screening for a flight to Philadelphia when he tried to go through security with two objects in his rectum. The FBI said he told screeners the objects, a polished stone and a piece of metal, were used to fight stress.

That wasn't enough to constitute a federal offense, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. However, immigration agents reviewed Al-Maliki's case and said they found two violent convictions on his record.

The convictions for domestic violence and possession of an illegal weapon violate the terms of Al-Maliki's status as a permanent U.S. resident and make him subject to deportation, said Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Haley said she had no details on the convictions, and that it wasn't clear when deportation proceedings would begin.

A US Airways plane bound for Philadelphia was diverted because Al-Maliki's checked luggage had been screened and put aboard without him.

LAX is a magnet for all type off odd balls and nuts to converge. It's not called La La Land for no reason!! Once had a guy show up wanting to report flying saucers over his neighborhood and wanted to speak with the person in charge of UFO's.

No, but I think we do have a lot more weirdos per capita than the rest of the country.
