BushCo and The Bogus Cheese Bombs
You probably read the headlines a couple of days ago about the supposed terrorist cheese bombs that were found by airport security around the nation. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration even released the picture at right showing a recovered cheese bomb. The story was that terrorists were using the cheese bombs to do dry runs to see if they could get bombs through airport security.
As it turns out, the whole thing was a fake by the Bush administration. Even the picture is fake. There were no cheese bombs… no suspicious packages. The closest thing was a woman who taped two freezer packs together for her bad back. That caused airport security to hold Sara Weiss for three hours and accuse her of knowing Osama bin Laden!!!
Now don’t you feel so much safer knowing that the Bush administration is willing to lie to scare you into obedience?
Update: Here is a picture of Sara Weiss, the grandmother from Long Island, whose ice packs caused airport security in San Diego to assume that she was a terrorist.
“I’m not a terrorist. I’m just a 66-year-old woman who’s coming back from visiting her son and I have a bad back, so I carry these things,” Weiss told ABC News’ Lisa Stark.

Years ago – before all this nonsense – I crossed the border between the U.S. and Canada a number of times carrying hundred-pound bags of sugar in my car. (It was innocent enough, really, even if somewhat odd…). I explained to the border guards that I was using it for traction on the ice. The response at the time “Well, Ma’am, most people use sand…”

My first car was a 1965 Dodge Dart (yellow… it was the ugliest car I ever owned but it was free so I can’t complain). It had rear wheel drive but was very light in the rear so it would fishtail on slippery roads all the time. I used to keep bags of sand in the trunk all year round just to get a little weight on the back tires.
