This is freaky. I know a lot of people don't like Fox news. Whatever. But I found this to be really weird - and scary: EDIT: this is for discussion of the FACTS of this case. Please refrain from any posting on any political views from any side; not what this article is about. Thanks! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,330415,00.html
I don't think so. If the FBI or DHS is concerned about a possible security threat, I think that is pretty factual. It would only be political if someone took it there.
More grief for the pregnant women. They're already making pregnant mom's drink their baby's bottle before getting on the plane becasue that could be exploding milk they have. Now they probably have to eat their own babys before getting on a plane, as a precaution. I just dont understand these people who blow themselves up. Guess they can't wait to go to hell. Nothing gets under my skin more than stupid ass motherfuckers killing innocents. They dont care if you have a family, or if they kill a bunch of kids. Im calling Rambo
You can tell its from fox news because they call them "homicide bombers" instead of "suicide bombers". Also, because the article is about one more thing that should make us terrified of anything and everything.
Okay. But what's wrong with that? I mean, it's not an inaccurate phrase, right? And while I think I'm pretty world-weary, this is one that actually agitates me. One, 'cause I can't stand intentionally dragging civilians into combat, either as participants or as victims. Soldiers should keep it between themselves. Two, while I've never seen a suicide bomber detonate, I already tense up everytime I see an older car with a single male occupant that has bad shocks or a full trunk making it ride low to the ground. I don't feel like having pregnant women in public stress me out also, dammit.
Did you hear about that suicide bombing where they used two mentally disabled women, and they freaking made them detonate the bombs in a pet market (with kittens and puppies)? That's got to be the saddest thing EVER. And yeah, hopefully this doesn't start an omgpanic over here. Don't go kicking pregnant women in the stomach, thinking they're terrorists.
It's a nice sentiment, and in a perfect world, it would happen. (Hell, in a perfect world, there wouldn't be war....) But civilians have been part of war since war began, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. I'm not advocating the intentional harm of civilians, mind you - just saying that it's part of the deal. I would also argue that suicide bombers aren't civilians.
Is anyone really surprised that prosthetics could be used for something like that? The basic rule of thumb should be that, if something dangerous can be fit into something, some crazy person might make it happen. Also, "The assessment, which emphasizes that DHS and FBI have no solid evidence indicating imminent homicide bombing attacks". No solid evidence. So really, this article is just like when you watch a horror movie. Sure, the next time you go camping at the lake it is entirely possible that you're going to be gutted by a masked serial killer; but the odds of that happening is extremely slim. Its just sensationalism. It sounds like its just a memo that went out that basically said, "oh, and one more thing..."
Sorry I'm still cracking up over SquirrelCar's first post...man this gives new meaning to a bomb from seventies...
Pretty soon everyone will have to start riding planes in the nude. They just better keep it warm in the plane if they do, I don't want to be embarrassed because of shrinkage due to cold.
Shrinkage might be good. If someone is too big, it could mean they're hiding a bomb in their penis. And knowing the TSA, they'd be all like, STOP! Eunuch time.
