The Mind Boggles At This!
Is it me? Am I the only person who thinks "No, it's not possible! No sane person would ever allow this. Has the world gone mad! What caliber of person is in charge?Read below and please give your view on whether you agree with me that some of the people they seem to be churning out of Schools, Colleges and Universities and then deemed to be intelligent and educated enough to be put in charge of such importance as the security of the travelling public, can act so ignorantly. It really make me despair. Half the time they're not fit to run A tap! It makes me so angry when sheer incompetence is so in abundance!

A passenger found with what turned out to be a pipe bomb in his hand luggage as he prepared to board a Ryanair flight to Italy was allowed to continue his journey days later, a court heard yesterday.
Nadeem Muhammed, 43, was held by police after "batteries wrapped in brown tape" was found as he went through an
X-ray scan at Manchester airport - but he claimed someone else had put them there, it was alleged.
He was released and days later flew on to Italy, but in the meantime, tests revealed it was a viable device containing sufficient explosives to cause "serious damage and loss of life" on a plane, the court heard.
Muhammed was only arrested on his arrival back at Manchester airport on Sunday and charged with being in possession of an explosive substance.
He had been stopped as he tried to get on a Ryanair flight to Bergamo following a security screening on January 30 and detained by police under the Terrorism Act, Westminster Magistrates' Court was told.
Questioned about the device, Mohammed said he believed it was put in his luggage by someone else. prosecutor Jessica Hart said: HE WAS THEN RELEASED, catching a flight to Italy with Ryanair several days later.
Meanwhile, explosives experts found it was a "viable explosive device" and terrorism officers searched Muhammed's home in Bury.
The court heard the device consisted of a small pipe, like a large marker pen and was filled with a "smokeless propellant often found in ammunition" the prosecutor said: "When ignited it can be made to explode".
Katie McCreath, defending, indicated Muhammed - a Pakistani national who has an Italian passport - would be pleading not guilty.
Muhammed was remanded in custody to appear at London's Southward Crown Court.

You know Julie, and I know, and no doubt, any intelligent person would know, not to release Mr Muhammed until his home was searched, his associations with others investigated and especially the tests be carried out on the pipe bomb.What the hell were they thinking? The mind boggles at the thought of the carnage this man could have caused on that Italy bound Ryanair plane!! yet they let him go!
It really scares me how inept these people are. The security is our only means of safety at airports and this man should NEVER have been released a few days later as he was.

The story as C&Ped hardly gives a lot of details and while such stories, as given, are fodder for forums like this and for anyone happy to fulminate about any piece of fake (or at least twisted) news. It is impossible to form an objective opinion of the actions taken without being privy to the whole story, all the evidence and the thought processes that led to the decision to free him.
