Man, security theater all around!
A Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) guard who seized a pipe bomb from a man at Edmonton International Airport tried to give it back to him, CBC News has learned….The device was about 15 centimetres long and five centimetres in diameter with screws at both sides. A three-metre-long fuse ran through the device, which was filled with gunpowder.
RCMP weren’t notified until four days later.
The day Murphy returned from Mexico, he was arrested by a large number of uniformed officers, a SWAT team and bomb-sniffing dogs.
Talk about closing the barn doors after the horses have left! First up they GAVE THE BOMB BACK TO HIM IN HIS CARRY-ON BAG??? Second they arrested him AFTER he had proven he wasn’t malicious with the device?
So much stupid right there!
