If you felt something whizz past your head a few hours ago, it was another bullet we dodged…
“Pair held after odd items turn up in luggage,” runs the WaPo headline, but the wording belies a more sinister reality:
“Dutch police have detained two men who flew from Chicago to Amsterdam on Sunday night after U.S. screeners found suspicious-looking items in their checked luggage before they departed, U.S law enforcement officials said.
“Security screeners found a cellphone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, three cellphones taped together and a number of watches taped together…”
Odd indeed.
Let me guess– fine young Irish lads out protesting Protestant rule in Ulster! No? Huh. Maybe Basque separatists? No again. Orthodox Jews gone wild?? Nope. Who then?
