Terror mystery: Was it just a big mix-up?

[Sarge]

I'm sorry, but how ****ing stupid does this adminstration think Americans are?

I mean, what 's to be alarmed about? Why just last month I flew to New York and had FIVE cell phones taped to a bottle of Jim Beam. Do it all the time. And I ALWAYS take my handy,dandy box cutters with me where ever I go.

But hey, nothing to see here. Move along.

Federal officials stepped back Tuesday from allegations that two Yemeni men with metro Detroit ties arrested in the Netherlands may have been testing U.S. airport security or making a possible dry run for a terrorist attack with mock bombs in checked luggage.

The U.S. does not expect to charge the men, a law enforcement official said. The two men arrested in Amsterdam -- both traveling to Yemen -- did not know each other and were not traveling together, a U.S. government official said.

Both of the detained men are friends who lived and worked in Dearborn, said Imad Hamad of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee. The al Soofi and al Murisi families are prominent within the Yemeni-American community in Dearborn, Hamad said.
