I'm not talking about the bomber, I'm talking about the nearby sidewalk full of liberals that you love to hate.

Who says I hate people? I don't like criminals and I don't like people who claim they have bombs in their bags. Police resources are used to protect nice people like us from people like that.

nola seems very compassionate. I have to ask-- if you hate people so much, why bother using up police resources to save the people you hate?

I like th fact that the Times had to report that he threw his sandwich against the wall. Was it a "steak bomb"?

... Stuffed pockets is suspicious?? Oh, That's Just Perfect! I tend to wear Cargo Pants and I go for long walks with an Ipod stuffed in One pocket and My Camera Stuffed in the Other side! Worse yet, my head set wires and the strap for my Camera sometimes hang out...

That picture amuses me - the billboard of the white babes laughing as the brown people get searched.

Man, the second case sure is sad - I mean, tourists loaded down with lots of crap, acting wierd? That's something the Grey Line driver must actually see every day. My wife was on the train the other day and the conductor came out and started berating some Asian guy for wearing an IPod - because it could be used to trigger a bomb, he claimed.

I smell a lawsuit since the driver or dispatcher embellished the report with nonexistent "backpacks." Gray Line's going to the cleaners on this one thanks to the humiliation, anxiety and mental anguish of both the suspected "terrorists" and the rest of the passengers detained with their hands over their heads.

If someone claims to have a bomb in his bag the cops should just put a bullet in his head and skip the evacuation. Less trouble for the rest of us.
