The State and us sheeps

I do find this news pretty disturbing. It's about the guy who was shot to death by air marshals at the Miami International Airport recently.

Okay, granted that any bomb threat should not be taken lightly, but c'mon, this is just a bit much. There are some details that went curiously missing or simply did not get explained enough in the description of the incident.

First of all, how the heck did the carry-on bag, that allegedly contained the explosives, get through the security checks? Shouldn't the X-Ray machine had detected this explosives first? Well, it did, and only that it did the job too well--there weren't any explosives! Also, where were those imposing TSA (Transportation Security Agency) agents who love to check people's belt buckle and shoes for bomb?

Also, would a person with a bomb strapped to his/her body be running up and down the aisle screaming: "I HAVE A BOMB!!!" Otherwise, he would have been a very confused suicide bomber instead. First rule of suicide-bombing (yes, there is a non-denominational, inter-faith ten commandment stone tableux for the United World Temple of Suicidal Terrorism): Thou shalt draw attention attention to thyself AFTER the deed, not before--all the attention your charred, blown-to-smithereens corpse care to receive!

Anyway, I know that this news is sorta stale but it has been saved as a draft for a while and I figure it's time that it gets published. I just got sidetracked by a bunch of papers this past week that I didn't have time to wrap up this post.
