Ex-PH2 sends a link to an article about TSA evacuating Detroit Metropolitan Airport because an item “blew a tube in an X-ray machine at a security checkpoint”. Apparently someone has been arrested and bomb squads removed the device according to Fox Detroit.
I’m not seeing updates since this morning, so who knows what it was all about. I keep hoping that TSA is able to stop a terrorist attack…just one. For their sake.
I guess better safe than sorry, right? I’m trying to be charitable and say that TSA people earned their pay today on this one. But I do want to know more and am keeping an eye on it.
Best I could find on follow-up, but there’s an interesting link in this page to a story on Dulles Airport near DC being hit with a bomb threat.

“Fox 2 has learned the item was either a lamp or a toy that had both sand and water inside with a wire wrapped around it and was not explosive.”

People evacuating the Detoilet airport by the thousands? No way…
People getting SAFELY to Detroit Metro in the thousands. Now that’s amazing. You’d swear the folks driving around Detroit had a death wish or learned how to drive from Ahmed Sakamoto’s School of Kamikaze-Jihad Driving and Suicide Bombing.
Sounds like poor maintenance of the x-ray machine.
“Ahmed Sakamoto’s School of Kamikaze-Jihad Driving and Suicide Bombing”? Henry, you’ve definitely been there. I’ve found that it’s usually that way from the folks trying to get out of Metro Detroit.
I know in the photo (linked) is the Atlanta skyline, but substitute it with Detroits. I envision Detroit turning out like this one day.
