03/06/2007: "Theraputic My Ass ... :-)"

You just knew someone stupid would step up and give me something to talk about. This morning, there was a major security alert at LAX when a man with some suspicious accessories triggered the security folks' attention. Turns out he had wires coming out of his ... rectum.

Al-Maliki told investigators the objects have therapeutic properties, and that he had forgotten to remove them before reaching the security checkpoint. They were described as a magnet wrapped with a piece of gum in a napkin and then coiled with wire; and some kind of round, polished stone.

It takes a lot to leave me speechless ...

perhaps he is some Beta-relase version of a new generation of terrorist ?

It is a rather simple rail-gun:- just connect the wires to a powerful enough supply and out, at extremely high speed, shoots a kinetic-energy projectile ? Eeek !
but that doesn't explain the napkin ... or the gum ...

nah! it was just a "pet rock" and some junk
