What's wrong with this picture? Remember the Iraqi from Atlantic City who was arrested at an airport for having a magnet in his bum? Turns out there was a stone involved as well. Damn guy's ass was a regular copper mine.
He's finally being deported, question is, why did it take so long given his record? And two objects? As in two pieces of an eventual bomb? This had to be some sort of a jihadanal probe.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- An Iraqi immigrant faces deportation after triggering a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport when authorities found a suspicious device lodged in his body, officials said.
Fadhel Al-Maliki, 35, of Atlantic City, N.J., prompted the alert March 6 during a screening for a flight to Philadelphia when he tried to go through security with two objects in his rectum. The FBI said he told screeners the objects, a polished stone and a piece of metal, were used to fight stress.
The convictions for domestic violence and possession of an illegal weapon violate the terms of Al-Maliki's status as a permanent U.S. resident and make him subject to deportation, said Lori Haley, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Haley said she had no details on the convictions, and that it wasn't clear when deportation proceedings would begin.
Allegedly one of the items was a cyrstal with wire wrapped around it. Gives new meaning to terrorist "probe".

Can you imagine the conversation that lead up to this guy sticking these things up his butt. I mean someone got up and asked for volunteers for this gig. The Alqada boys are really starting to take it for the team now!

"The convictions for domestic violence and possession of an illegal weapon violate the terms of Al-Maliki's status as a permanent U.S. resident..."
I wonder what the domestic violence was? Projectile flatulence?

The excuse that he didn't know it was loaded wouldn't fly.

I just keep getting this mental image of Cartman from Southpark. The episode where he is kidnapped by aliens. The rest of the kids tie him up out in the country and that giant antenna comes out his butt.

He fits right in around the more liberal parts of America.

Constantly looking for security weakness
Constantly trying to find a loophole
One flaw in our defenses that they can exploit
They only need one security lapse
We have to be right 100% of the time.
