Shoe Bombs! Run For Your Lives! Booo! Boooo! OOOOga BOOOOga!
MSNBC running a story that the terror alert is up because a pair of shoes with blasting caps inside were found on the London Tube a few months ago.

Give me a fucking break ..........

2. What explanation do you have for blasting caps in shoes?
Or are you saying you don't believe the story outright?

3. I believe the story
I resent the hype

This happened months ago.

Now its all the news.

Why make it public? Better to just keep the inspectors alert, no? Unless, of course, there's a second agenda. Which clearly there is: Stand in line and shut up while we tale away your rights and your dignity.

I resent being treated like suspected felon every time I fly.

4. I hate being treated poorly every time I fly also
but if they suddenly announced we need to start x-raying shoes, you'd think there was no reason unless you knew the background. Now it sounds like this practice will move into Europe as well.

A lot of times information leaks out months later. It's the natural cycle of news.
