Geoffrey McGann, 49, of Rancho Palos Verdes was taken into custody Thursday night after he tried to pass through airport security with an ornate watch that had switches, wires and fuses, according to Sgt. J.D. Nelson, a spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff's Department. A bomb squad arrived within five minutes and determined there were no explosive materials in the watch, Nelson said. The checkpoint was closed while officers secured the area. more at above link Last Edited by SPUD on 11/17/2012 01:43 AM |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 27335955 Better safe than sorry? This is exactly the kind of teat sucking attitude that has allowed air travel to become a fear ridden exercise in submission to totalitarian bullying. How was it that planes flew from the 1940's to the 1990's without any need of the fascist bullshit that people are subjected to today? Loonies were running around back then as well, the difference is that people were not afraid of their own shadow in those days. |
