I’m willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because I know a lot of tokers, and they really aren’t that smart. He probably DID forget it was there, and he probably left the boxcutter in the book immediately after hollowing it out with said boxcutter.

Pretty ingenius, knowing his smoking buddies would never crack open a book not involving the words “Fear and Loathing…”.

Anyway, the strip search on his next flight anywhere should be amusing. Way to get on the lifetime “watch list”, Benjamin.

I’m curious as to where this guy goes to church. I’m betting he’s been “studying” with a local imam, introduced to him by one of his maryjane stealing roommates.

Oops! Sorry! I forgot my box cutter was hidden in a hollowed out book in my backpack…

OK, I am filing this one in my “what the hell?” file.

As I understand it, the guy tries to board a plane. He passes a backpack through the airport scanner and they see books, box cutter, papers, lint…wait, box cutter?

I wouldn’t have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes. Even here there are people willing to excuse and defend this creep and even belittle and deminish the effect of what would have haooened had he been successful in getting the cutter on the plane.

Islam will stop at nothing, and the rely on the stupidity of those such as the ones that defend this gutter-trash in order to succeed. The willingness at which people assist them is nothing short of terrifying in itself.

What an idiot. Not sure we should give him any more attention.

The TSA snagged my lighter that I “forgot” was in a carry on. Bully for them.

The boxcutter is a chilling reminder, but irrelevant with this moron.
