5. that doesn't make sense........

Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 05:19 PM by Historic NY

they have bomb & drug dogs sniffing them, now they went and blew them up. Must be the suspects bags.....I think they played this one for the newsies. We already know the deceased suspect, was bi-polar, didn't take his meds, was acting strange, threatened to have a bomb in his carry on. One would have thought they would want to preserve evidence, if there was any.

10. ALL the bags on the aircraft?

(I'm at work.)

Are you saying that dogs sniffed all of the bags related to that aircraft, and then TSA *BLEW THEM ALL UP*?

24. No it appears only 3 bags most likely the suspects....

one looked like a carry on. Earlier they had the dogs out and they removed all the baggage to the tarmac. I believe this is standard procedure. Since the plane came in from Columbia, they would probably have sniffer dogs go through them anyway.

20. You should have seen it when the SWAT team got there.

Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 05:50 PM by BiggJawn

The dude's going cold on the jet bridge, EMT's and airport cops (I guess) are going up and down the ladder to the rear door, and BAM! here comes 2 of those black mega-trucks that start disgorging Imperial Storm Troopers who "Take CONTROL" of the scene like the final reel of "The Blues Brothers".
Weapons at the ready, doing that "No, I didn't shit my pants, THIS walk makes me a more stable gun platform" walk...
Weapon pointed at the cockpit with oddball hand signals.( I bet the copilot was shrugging his shoulders at the guy)

After about a minute it sunk in that the "area was secure".
I laughed till I almost puked.

16. They took my pipe.

It had not been used and was more a keepsake from a special trip than anything else. But they took it and kept it. It was hand-blown glass that I got at a craft market.

23. Down at the City Commission

Edited on Wed Dec-07-05 06:22 PM by DoYouEverWonder

he left it sitting on a bench and went about his business. Someone noticed the box sitting by itself and call in the forces. They evacuted the area and blew up the box. Then they found out it was the guys lunch.

The funny part is that this fellow is a Unitarian minister, a Harvard grad and probably one of the most non-violent human that you would ever meet.

Obviously fear makes people do irrational things.

12. Have any of you flown to Miami from Colombia on AA?

Do you know what kind of security they use? Maybe it kinda fits with some of the undetected narcotics that have gotten through....If they aren't finding the drogas, maybe they aren't finding the bombs...

21. Thanks--

I haven't seen any of the coverage. I got the impression from what I've read that this was an arriving plane.
