Stimulating News!! Iraqi man triggers LAX alarms with “hidden” device

March 8th, 2007 · No Comments

An Iraqi man was caught at LAX during screening process after triggering alarms. Flight was diverted with his luggage due to supposed threat. Eventually, an electronic device with wires was found and removed by the bomb squad from the body cavity. Full story is here. And here.

Man said he was trying to “relieve stress”. More from the story:

Al-Maliki told investigators the objects he had in his body were there for therapeutic purposes, and that he had forgotten to remove them before reaching the security checkpoint. …

“I believe we’re about as confused as you until we finish the investigation,” said Ethel McGuire, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office.
