#1 Wayne County in Michigan. Wotta surprise. Looks like we may be nipping a lot of the build up to August 22 in the bud. I'm starting to be a believer.

#4 The BBC article I posted which was deleted had this extra detail :
The containers were spotted in the woman's hand bag and subjected to swab tests and sniffer dog examinations, both of which gave positive results.

Officials say the woman is of Pakistani origin and was travelling on a one-way ticket to Charlotte, North Carolina.

She has been detained and is now being questioned by FBI officials.

According to the woman's travel documents she is from Jackson, Michigan and was born in 1978.

#6 The airport is in Huntington, Wayne County, West Virginia--yeah, I thought "Detroit" at first, too, and it's not clear from the quote or the url that it isn't.

#12 No new info though the reporters just gave an update. This is the ongoing remote at the airport. The cameraman has a fixation on a brunette in tight bluejeans talking on a cell phone.

#13 Being originally from WV (The great mountains of the Monongahelia Nation Forest) and now living in Charlotte (Home of Nascar), I want to applaud our TSA personnel. Tri-State Airport is a little hole in the wall that makes jumps to larger airports like CDIA (Charlotte Douglas International Airport). I catch flights every once in a while, and she picked the wrong place to try this at. You have good ol' mountain folk just looking for something out of the ordinary. I don't want to sound too racist, but she would stick out like a sore thumb. If this is acurate, the FBI wouldn't need to talk to her. Drop her by my uncle Jeb's, he's got a few shacks in the hollows that the government doesn't know about. A little time with us and my friends. We'll get the info we need. She won't have to worry about eating pig, she'll be sqealling like one soon. Wheeee, Wheeee, oink, oink.

#19 TSA says the liquids are a "residue". WTF is a "residue", and why do the mechanical detection devices and WV State police dogs get excited about residue?

#22 Thanks Big Ed!

This one sounds like it's going to be played down, too.

#24 If she is from Detriot, or wherever for that matter, find out what mosque she attends and demolish the place. Zero notice, everyone insude leaves with their hands empty and then rev up the D-9s. This needs to be SOP.

#26 OK the proper response...
This Haji implement tomorrow's opening movie on the Haji planes from Pakiwakiland!

AHHH!!
They will wish for a bomb on the plane!

Elle Driver: The venom of a black mamba can kill a human in four hours, if, say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb. However, a bite to the face or torso can bring death from paralysis within 20 minutes. Now, you should listen to this, 'cause this concerns you. The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan. You know, I've always liked that word..."gargantuan"... so rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence. If not treated quickly with antivenom, 10 to 15 milligrams can be fatal to human beings. However, the black mamba can deliver as much as 100 to 400 milligrams of venom from a single bite.

#27 Used as a diversion!

"Here honey, don't get thirsty on the flight. Take these while I load up the red truck."

Where did the ambulance go? Was it a legit call?
An ambulance traveling thru a crowd of people evacuated from an airport..pretty natural to me. Why stop it?
