#3 This is typical "participatory journalism" as practiced by the deceptive left around the world. Unfortunately, for them, they decided to practice in a nation under severe threat from within its own borders by useful idiots such as these reporters. For them to demonstrate any lack of security and publicise it makes them enablers of terrorism propaganda as much as the terrorist themselves. We all know, as rational and pragmatic human beings, that security in any public environment is fool-proof as proved by these fools.

#7 I don't really have anything against idiots. We have plenty of them in the media. I just think they often exceed their first amendment rights in the U.S. They [media] are in a position of responsibility and they don't act responsible.

#8 They need to be charged with every possible terrorist law. Bunch of asshats could have really started a panic and gotten people hurt. Not to mention now all AssholesForAllah know about the security holes.

Brilliant!

Better yet just shoot them and save the money from trial and incarceration.

#9 Let us hope those folks in the US that recently did something similiar at various airports get the same treatment (wire-wrapped cheese blocks and cell phones / battery packs all duct taped together testing security). but i have not heard of any such action.

#10 USN, that's different. Those incidents are just dry runs by Mooselimbs. Nothing to see here, just move along.
