Grandma always pointed at those vagrant hams and said "don't be like them or you'll be on the bus to smokeyville" guess she was right.

Insert some sort of stereotypical muslim-pork related comment here

It's from The Onion, but I wouldn't find it strange coming from any real news source. When it comes to handling security in the media, nothing is too wacky, it would seem.

From the reports it sounds initially like Zazi and company are the real deal. How big a threat remains to be seen.
But still...The Feebee's 'agents found Zazi's fingerprints on a scale and double-A batteries'.
This is evidence?
Apparently the VLWC media asked about because an official went on record saying 'scale could have been used to weigh bomb components'

DHS Sets Security Alert Level To Green For 8 Seconds

"Security Alert Level To Green "
Ah. That's why I was able to relax.

Clearly demonstrates the existential threat of domestic terrorist groups and far right wing militias.
As an American Muslim I am deeply disturbed about this business of indiscriminately leaving pork products in public spaces... People need to keep their moldy hunks of smokey hog-butt to themselves.
Unless it was really made out of turkey, in that case I am all over that stuff like suck on an MS SQL server.
