Anyone else get really nervous by that final statement? "...not an activist or a terrorist". I keep seeing these two concepts lumped together, like they both lead to the same thing and should be dealt with the same way.
And as a US citizen I can safely say that we're just going to sit here and take it.

"The bomb squad determined the watch was harmless. Still, the man remained in custody for more than 24 hours and was charged for the possession." Charged with the possession of what???
They also say he had everything to create an explosive device but the explosive! What a ridicule! So if I carry an alarm clock on me, I must be a terrorist! Because potentially it can be used to detonate a bomb. Yahoo!
The U.S. is going nuts for sure!

The USA is a known enemy of artists. Anti-art increased during the 1990s with statements from people such as NYC mayor Guiliani, who exclaimed "no more room for artists in NYC."

I dont feel bad for anyone who gets harrased by the TSA. If you do not want your children or wife molested then stop going to the darn airports. I'm not upset at the TSA, Im sick of the American people. What a bunch of whipped whiners. You people are just inviting an invasion with all your cowardness.

It's all part of the plan.  FEAR is a plus for the One World Order.
The people will provide them with just that.

This confirms that the Nazis (or at least their ideals) triumphed in WWII, contrary to popular opinion.

So now we have people with above-the-law status who, at a whim, can make the word "terrorist" mean anything they want?
No, I do not feel safe!
