| 2010-11-09 |
| [Al Arabiya] The United States expanded its ban on cargo shipments from Somalia in the wake of the package bomb plot originating from Yemen, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Monday. Additionally, toner and ink cartridges that are over 16 ounces will be banned from all U.S. passenger flights and planes heading to the United States, she said. That ban will also apply to some air cargo shipments, she said. |

| #5 They'll just switch to exploding coconuts next. ...or, make variations upon guncotton in the form of money. Nicely stacked wad of bills or credit cards designed to explode. Then we can watch Czar Napolitano ban money from flights. [Way back there were cancer scares every day as another substance was found to induce cancer in lab rats that had forced exposure levels hundreds if not thousands of time higher than normal. The FDA was banning stuff day in and day out till come researchers in Colorado achieved the same induced response by putting little bits of money, paper and metal, under the skins of lad rats. When it was pointed out that the predetermined results meant the protocol required all money to be recalled, the silliness ended.] |
