WTF?!

Skylar Murphy, 18, pleaded guilty last month to possession of an explosive substance in connection with the September incident at the Edmonton International Airport

EDMONTON – A man who had apipe bomb in his carry-on bag was stillallowed to board his international flightfrom Edmonton last fall, even afterscreening officers seized the explosivedevice from him.What the Fu..?Oh hold the outrage! Probably becausehe was a WHITE kid and some stupidloophole!I wonder why these loopholes nevercome up for any other passenger foundwith even a remote hint of a bomb, letalong an actual bomb. It’s clear that hadhe been an Arabic or Muslim or otherminority, he would be thrown in jail withkeys thrown in the river!!!Skylar Murphy, 18, pleaded guilty lastmonth to possession of an explosive substancein connection to an incident at anEdmonton airport.When screening officers found whatcourt documents describe as black powderand a pipe bomb inside the passenger’scarry-on bag on Sept. 20, 2013, theyseized the suspicious items but stillallowed him to board an internationalflight.It wasn’t until four days later thatCanada’s Air Transport SecurityAuthority (CATSA) called the RCMP.Three days after that, on Sept. 27,Murphy was arrested upon his return toCanada. CATSA would not reveal histravel destination.CATSA is also not saying why the passengerwas allowed to get on his flightand why it took so long to notify police.“CATSA screening officers do not havethe authority to apprehend or detain passengers,”spokesperson MathieuLarocque said.

He also told CTV News that, “for securityreasons, I can’t go into details aboutour procedures at the checkpoint, whichinclude our protocols with the police.“Incidents that occur at our checkpointsare constantly being reviewed. We areconstantly reviewing and updating ourprocedures and training to ensure thatscreening officers are equipped to handleall sorts of security situations.”Murphy has declined comment.One security expert, Andre Gerolymatosof Simon Fraser University, said itappears that “everyone is dodging thebullet” in this case. “No one wants totake responsibility for what is obviously aseries of mistakes.” He also said the incidentdefies logic.“If a person is carryingan explosive device in their carry-on, theyshould not be allowed to board the airplane.That is just common sense.”
