You mean I pissed my pants for nothing?
The Transportation Security Agency’s national security bulletin issued was based on bogus examples that were combined to give the impression of ominous terrorist plotting, CNN reports.
Dang it!!
Just when I decide to get all patriotic by pissing my pants and running around screaming like a good American, it turns out the the terrorists “dry runs” were complete bullshit.
CNN: TSA knew ‘dry run’ terror alerts were bogus
“That bulletin for law enforcement eyes only told of suspicious items recently found in passenger’s bags at airport checkpoints, warned that they may signify dry runs for terrorist attacks,” CNN’s Brian Todd reported Friday afternoon. “Well it turns out none of that is true.”
Todd highlights the case of Sara Weiss, who was detained in San Diego after two ice packs covered in tape were found in her baggage. Weiss, who works for a faith-based organization, also was carrying a survey about Muslim Americans, which CNN says also raised law enforcement provisions.
“The FBI now says there were valid explanations for all four incidents in that bulletin, and a US government official says no charges will be brought in any of these cases,” Todd reported.

If the TSA leaked bogus info, then they are no better than the ‘terrorists’ they claim to be saving us against. Since their actions certainly falls well within the definition of the word.
