US-bound airlines to screen smartphones, laptops amid new al-Qaeda terror threat
So THIS is why they put this out there.

They want a reason for the TSA to be able to go through your electronic shit without a warrant, following the recent Supreme Court verdict.

If the Court determines that Americans have some right to privacy, an act of terror or the suspicion of an act of terror can negate it in an instant.

Thanks a lot, Patriot Act.

(read the article - they are talking about the possibility of these potential devices being sewn into clothing or even embedded in the body - does this mean they can take you back and fucking slice you open??? Look for new wounds and probe them??)

"Airlines that fly direct to the US will be forced to step up checks on mobile phones and shoes in light of threats of an al-Qaeda bomb attack. US officials say terrorists have found a way to conceal incendiary devices inside phones to avoid detection.

UK airports put on terror alert after US govt warns of Al-Qaeda attack

'Undetectable bomb' threat: US urges increased security on international flights

Passengers on flights from Europe, the Middle East and Africa bound for the US will be subjected to extra security checks, US officials have told Reuters. The US government warned earlier this week of an al-Qaeda effort to create an undetectable bomb that could be smuggled through airport security.

According to US intelligence sources, the undetectable devices are most likely to be hidden in smartphones, including Apple iPhones and Samsung Galaxy phones. The bombs could also be surgically implanted into an insurgent’s body or be embedded in clothes fibers. "

This.

This is the funniest fucking part of the whole thing.

We have the intelligence to know that they have these devices because we fucking bought and paid for them.

People are so stupid.

Do they really believe that the NSA knows all of this shit but doesn't know when the devices are going to be used or who is going to be using them?

Fucking sheep.

Re: US-bound airlines to screen smartphones, laptops amid new al-Qaeda terror threat
Now they are saying if you are coming into the US from a foreign airport and you are carrying a device that doesn't power up you have to leave it behind and/or you will be subjected to 'additional screening.'

Now I understand that these devices may be explosives or detonation devices or something, I understand the reasoning, but this is getting extreme.

They have admitted that the devices they are searching for can be so tiny that they could be sewn into seams or even be put under people's SKIN.

So what are they really accomplishing with these screening protocols?

Nothing, aside from harassing people.

I mean, are they really going to FIND these devices?

Fuck no - they couldn't even find a PLANE, remember?

This is nothing more than another way they are getting people accustomed to having no personal privacy.
