I became aware of this story when I listened to this Tom Woods interview:
(he mentions it @ 2:50)
At the Bakersfield airport in California, TSA authorities recently shut down the entire airport after finding what they thought was a container of liquid explosives.
Luggage screeners discovered five Gatorade bottles full of an “amber” liquid. TSA agents then opened the bottles and complained they smelled “a strong chemical odor.” They then complained of nausea and were taken to the local hospital for treatment.
According to Reuters, “Kern County Sheriffs deputies, fire crews, FBI agents and members of a joint terrorism task force responded to the scene and spent the day questioning Ramirez before further tests showed that the liquid was honey.”
In other words, Ramirez was interrogated by the FBI for hours while being presumed to be a terrorist. . . .
And then they engage in all sorts of theater by acting like they’re experiencing nausea so that they can be carted off to the hospital and take the rest of the work day off. . . .
What the TSA hasn’t yet acknowledged is that their chemical detection tests are complete quackery.
As we’ve reported before, a bottle of Dr. Bronner’s soap will test positive for illegal narcotics. A bar of home-made chocolate got Ron and Nadine from Living Libations arrested (and their child stolen from them by authorities) and accused of trafficking illegal drugs (www.naturalnews.com/024304.html).
Honey now apparently tests positive for explosives. Is there any food or liquid substance that truly safe from being declared a bomb by incompetent TSA employees?
