Slovak Police Planted Explosives On Air Travelers

Posted by kdawson on from the carrying-reality-tv-too-far dept.

Entropy98 writes "Slovakian Police have planted explosives on 8 unsuspecting air travelers. Seven were stopped by airport security, including one man arrested and held upon arriving at a Dublin airport. Unbelievably, one innocent traveler made it home with 90 grams of explosives, and had his flat surrounded by the police and bomb squad."

    To the Slovakian Minister of the Interior,

            I wish to express profound regret on the part of the US for failing to categorize and properly label DVDs obviously sold to your country. Odd as it may seem, the "Police Academy" video series was never intended as instructional.

            Sincerest apologies,

    TFA doesn't explain why the explosives were planted. One obvious reason is to test security but in that case you would have a "wicket keeper" to catch the undetected explosives.

    It may just be bad English or a translation error, but the Slovakian Police were quoted as saying "Someone set us up the bomb".

    How about we realize that we are far more likely to be killed by our car or the food we eat then by terrorists?

    I don't understand - if you're killed by your car or food, aren't you already dead? How is a terrorist supposed to kill you if you've already been killed by your car or food?

    Even if you do win, you probably wouldn't like how they "settle their debts".

    What, they sneak the check into my back pocket when I'm not looking?

    I'd be more afraid of a cargo ship full of zombies sailing into NY harbor than a nuke in NYC. Simply more awesome.
