Man Arrested at Miami International With Razor and Saw Blades Hidden in His Shoe
A man was arrested Monday at Miami International Airport because he was carrying a razor blade and a hacksaw blade in his shoe, police said. Hummm? David McIntyre, who was traveling with his wife and children, told authorities he forgot the blades were in his shoe, said police Detective Joey Giordano. You forgot? So you normally walk around with sharp objects in your shoes, because...?? Police didnât know why he had the blades in his shoe. "Beats the hell out of me" Alarms sounded when McIntyre tried to pass through a metal detector, and security screeners asked him to remove his shoes and found the blades, officials said. Damm, they are awake. And the scanners must be set on high. McIntyre, 38, of West Chester, Pa., was charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Itâll do for now. Officials said they didnât believe the arrest had anything to do with stepped-up law enforcement presence in the airport for the holidays or the Department of Homeland Securityâs increase in the national threat level. Iâd like to hope they would have gotten him without the increase. With the kind of traffic youâd get through Miami, maybe they would have. Posted by: Steve 2003-12-22 |
