Okay, now they're just plain making shit up...the TSA is now claiming that terrorists are staging "dry runs" of airplane terror events based on finding totally random crap in the luggage of completely unrelated people. In one cited example, blocks of cheese are claimed to be "similar in size and shape to plastic explosives."
Aw, c'mon, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! How much more of this total nonsense is going to go on?!?!?! They've stretched so far beyond the realm of credibility now that they might as well just disband the lot of them, cancel all air traffic, and send everybody home. For a moment last week, I thought maybe these guys were finally going to pull their heads out of their collective asses when the head of the TSA admitted that taking away cigarette lighters was "security theater", but apparently not.
I would also like to spew a little venom at the Bush Administration, who very obviously leaked this story as part of their recent campaign to cry "Wolf!" as much as possible to distract people from their latest poll numbers and their Mexican standoff with Congress. First it was Chertoff's "gut feeling", then some other vague warnings about terrorists, and now this. What really steams me, though, is the way the national news media report these stories with the doe-eyed ingenuousness of a five-year-old who has just learned that babies GROW UNDER CABBAGES and feels the need to pass this along to every person he meets. I'm beginning to think that this French tax official isn't the only one with a giant hole in his brain.
I never thought 'd say something like this, but I, for one, was actually glad that the Lindsay Lohan story got more attention than this, because that's about how much actual news value this shit has.
