Underwear Bomber Not A Terror Plot After All

It now looks like the underwear bomber terror plot that was foiled - wasn't really a terror plot at all. The would-be bomber was actually an informant working for the Saudi government and the CIA, who had infiltrated Al-Qaida in Yemen, and then volunteered to carry out the attack. Once the informant was given the bomb – he turned it over to his handlers – who then turned it over to the FBI. The underwear bomb that was seized, by the way, is a much more sophisticated device than the one used in the failed 2009 bombing: Reportedly, it's a non-metallic device that would have been undetectable even during an intrusive pat-down. So, surprise - our security theatre in airports - complete with Chertoff X-Ray porno scanners and TSA gropes – doesn't keep us safe. Next step? Have TSA agents slap on latex gloves and bust out the K-Y jelly? We've become insane, and Ben Franklin was right when he said that, "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Time to end the "security theatre" and get rational again.
