Large Hadron Collider Scientist Arrested For al-Qaeda Ties

Posted by timothy on from the now-that's-gratitude-for-ya dept.

mindbrane writes "A scientist working as a subcontractor on a peripheral LHC project has been arrested as a terrorist. The CBC is running a story outlining the arrest of a man on Thursday in south-east France for suspected al-Qaeda links: 'CERN officials said the man, whose name has not been revealed, was working under contract with an outside institute and said he had no contact with anything that could have been used for terrorism. He had been at CERN since 2003, officials said. ... The news that someone with terrorist connections might have worked at the facility is likely to cause concern because of both the high profile of the giant physics experiment and also the technology in use, which has made some members of the public nervous.'"

    Flamebait? Ok, that was a pretty epic whoosh. Or maybe I'm too subtle.

    But there's no holes involved at all in a Large Hard-on Collider, are there?

    Speaking of which, how fast will these hardons be accelerated, exactly? I always thought we'd have zero-G tits before the maglev dick came along...
