Kissing Terrorists?

Reuters has the story, "Goodbye Kiss Provoked Newark Airport Scare" (via Memeorandum):

  1. Is the war on terror now a war on kissing??

    Sounds romantic to me... like something out of the movies. He went to give her one last kiss goodbye... so romantic.

    And dumb terror paranoia has to spoil the moment.

    I'm gonna grab that gremlin... and just stomp it's guts out.

    This is A FREE COUNTRY where we love to see the guy kiss the girl.

    The gremlin is going to have it's guts splattered on the ground when I'm done.

    No, not a terrorist "threat" - just a FREE american expressing her disgust with the paranoia feeding the police state mentality.

    Grow up people. Get a life.

    The "underwear bomber" was most likely intentionally let through to make you paranoid and give up your liberties.

    Grow up and stop being such ez marks for people who want to make you paranoid and restrict your freedom and the simple joys of a sweet land of liberty - where the guy kisses the girl.
