Sources tell ABC News that intelligence has picked up terrorists discussing the use of prosthetic or medical devices to conceal explosives. The revelation comes as the White House today acknowledged that the implementation of new security measures at airports hasn’t gone perfectly.
Really?
Well, you’ll forgive some of us for being suspicious that this has more to do with CYA over headlines about the TSA exploding a cancer patient’s urine bag and forcing a breast cancer patient to pull out her prosthetic breast.
This is different from Bush’s use of flaming fuscia terror alerts for political advantage how, exactly?

Here come the cavity searches!!
Seems to me as a way to stifle travel HHmmm is something fishy going on??? Limiting a citizens mobility by use of intrusive searches reeks of Government suppression of travel rights. This is all smoke and mirrors for something else..
The main stream press can’t report anything without using the terms “sources, analysts, experts, insiders” or my personal favorite phrase “the official spoke on condition of anonymity”. I keep wondering if the reporters are calling my neighbor because he claims to be all of those.
it’s true. i saw it on an A-Team when i was 13.
This excellent episode of A-Team did not escape DHS’s notice.
Thank God!
Nigel lucked out, I’d say. But maybe the drummer got caught using the same tactic?

Sawyer and a TSA agent were on The Last Word (thankfully O’Donnell wasn’t on).
The agent basically refuses to comment on the specific case, but that agents are well trained and being mistreated by the public.

The interviews start at 2:56, the agent start talking at 7:37, and Sawyer calls McNeil on the blame game at about 10:40 with a lot of class.
