New Relaxation Technique
I'm not sure if passenger screening at airports really does much of anything to protect us from terrorism, but it sure is good for some laughs, as guards and police swing into action and press conferences are convened to explain why planes were emptied or diverted and airports thrown into chaos for things like a drop of bleach in a drinking water bottle. Today, we learn in the L.A. Times of possible new relaxation technique after an US-resident Iraqi national was arrested after producing a "rock, chewing gum and thin wire filament" from his rectum. He said they were to alleviate stress.
The scary part is that while he was being arrested on suspicion of having all or part of a bomb in his bum, his flight took off with his luggage still aboard.
