Slovak Police Planted Explosives On Air Travelers

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."

    In Slovakia they only plant explosives in your luggage, In Russia they plant the explosives inside of YOU.

    If we park all the 4 x 4's in the spot where the they plant the nuke! that would make road travel significantly safer.

    My equipment is frequently exposed to explosives, always gets the swab, always tests positive, the TSA always says "survey equipment, right?", I nod, I go through without any more hassle.
    No deeper inspection, ever.

    This is what it is to be white in America.

    The Terror Pussies - that'd be a good name for a band. Unfortunately, it's also a description of most of our Congress and a lot of our fellow citizens (especially the ones with Rs after their names).

    The same argument ten years ago could have disproved the chances of 9/11. Pity you didn't post earlier!

    Get this and get this straight, using lethal force against someone because they're running away to evade arrest is not acceptable.

    Anyone that runs from the police is breaking the law. They are doing so at that exact moment. Lethal force is reasonable to stop someone who you have no other way to catch (i.e. someone fleeing a traffic stop or who hasn't been identified). In this case, they knew exactly who he was, so they knew where he lived and could have caught up with him later. However, he wasn't fleeing, so none of that is relevant.

    I believe that anyone who flees from the police should have lethal force used immediately against them. Either they are too stupid to live, or they are criminals. Either way, dead is appropriate.

    However, I would be against authorizing lethal force in that case. Because, as happened here, the shooting wasn't justified, but the police lied in order to cover their asses. If the police could ever be trusted, then I would be for authorizing it, but they have continually shown themselves to be absolutely horrible at admitting mistakes and taking responsibility.
