#1 Sounds to me like an idiot rather than a stooge. Fine him the cost incurred from the moment his toys were discovered (no doubt substantial $$) plus a bit for diverting needed homeland security resources, and send him to jail for 6 months as a warning not to be stupid. I don't have as much problem with him being put on the LA flight -- once he was on the airplane, there was no escape when they concluded they wanted him back, and I assume they checked him carefully for other toys before they let him proceed.

#2 Dubai's the money-laundering center of choice for the Russian mafiya.

All the more reason we need that northern Musharraf, aka the President of Russia, to succeed in reforming his criminalized state. If Russia fails, we're screwed.

Why are we wasting so much time with can't-help, can't-hurt Euros? As regards Iran, Russia's the crucial swing state, and it's been swinging Iran's way. Time to get serious about moving them around to our side.

#3 The problem here is the brain-dead people at the boarding end of his original flight, who let him check as luggage a suitcase full of obvious bombs.
They are the ones who belong in jail.

This guy should just have the word "idiot" branded across his forehead.
