She should have been shot for that? That's the appropriate thing to do? Why not also shoot every person that's not carrying a bible and a Republican membership card in their hand?

Are you people that stupid? Wow.

No Rudey,

Maybe you are.....read the above posts again...no one said that she SHOULD BE shot....what we DID say was she was LUCKY in that circumstance that she WASN'T shot. Then it was REFERENCED about the LAST TIME post 911 someone who said he DID HAVE a bomb who WAS SHOT.

Since you cannot read, SHE DID NOT HAVE A BOMB. IN FACT IT DIDNT REALLY RESEMBLE A BOMB.

Also, you uneducated boob, that's what YOU said. It's not a collective "We". One person said they would not be sorry if she was shot.

Now shutup.

I wouldn't feel sorry for you if you were shot right now either...one less dunce in the world.

I tell you what....do us all a favor...since you are hell bent to prove us wrong...why do you go to the nearest airport and attempt the exact same stunt that she did....when done....please come back here and post your observations.

I guess it looked enough like a bomb to get the security people upset.

They may be stupid, too, but they're the ones who count in this case.

it's only as stupid to do nothing and let her on a plane and the plane blows up and the FAA has to put together a report as to why nothing was done and how did she manage to slip by security and how could this have ahppened after 9/11........that's all.

The above is barely english. I'm responding only to what it is I *think* you mean. There's no possible way to truly divine what you were attempting to communicate in the above, so here's my best effort: (Drole? We could really use your translation services here)

How is a circuit board going to blow up a plane? What would the FAA report say? "We briefly detained a young woman with a circuit board strapped to her body, further investigation revealed it was her odd idea of a fashion statement."

English even you can understand Kevin

You are about as dense as Rudey is if you don't get what happened.

How dare you even think you are above all if you think you are so intelligent that you can call yourself 'correcting' me.

Still smarting from the verbal tonguelashing of last week is the reason why you still persist in trying to engage me....

DO one of three things if you think you are up to talking to me

Step up, step forward, or step off

Let's recount what happened here:
1) She did not have a bomb or anything that resembled a bomb. It was electronics. Nothing resembled anything that might explode. So why not shoot anyone with an ipod? Oh wait they don't do that.

2) People have said they don't feel sorry for her being shot. You then say that you'd be OK with me being shot.

Essentially the cops were wrong, had no excuse to be wrong and didn't apologize.

You were wrong in your assumptions and then exposed the fact that you are a violent sub-human.

Basically if they almost shoot you because you have a laptop with you, it's OK because they're the ones who count.

Where Angels Fear to Tread . . .

I would suspect that the airport security may simply have not known exactly what it was - and of course were going to err on the side of caution.
And the next question - if they knew what it was, wouldn't they wonder WHY someone was walking through an airport with a circuit board? Goodness knows there is plenty of publicity when airport security fails to catch a "fake" bomb plant. I can see why the woman in question would be detained, and why she should be offered no apology.
Airport security has no sense of humor, FYI.
