Ohnoes! A belt buckle!! It looks like a grenade!! Everybody panic!


/the terrorists have won

I'd bet that kid was embarrassed something awful.

My wife bought me one of them gun lighters when I was on vacation and packed in my luggage. I am thinking she might not like me.

ok, what, did the bomb squad have to drive in from orlando? it was found on a luggage screen. they knew where it was, it's not like they had to search for some random threat, so why does it take "several hours" to ascertain it's not live?

/gis for grenade belt

oh, and the ship's name? Freedom of the Seas.

Perhaps?

Kinda like the dumb asses that fly with the belts that have all the bullets around them?

A flat piece of metal in the shape of something that would be considered dangerous, everybody panic! Someone hide the splenda, they might think it is Anthrax!

Transportation Security Administrator workers spotted the belt buckle while screening a suitcase that was loaded off the ship.

They were Xraying baggage as it went OFF the ship? Unless it's going right on a plane, WTF?

KimJong;
Sure, you're a terrorist, go on a cruise, go on a shore excursion, pick up a device of some sort, take it back to the ship, walk off boat with said device.
Wow,that is one awful run on sentence.

That was the best part of the whole story.

It is just a farking belt buckle. Submitter needs a cockpunch

How grenade-shaped can it be, and how many seconds would it really take for someone to say, "hey, it's a belt buckle."

In the post-9/11 world, it's important to keep your eyes open and be stupid.

Floriduh needs it's own tag, but subby missed the boat on this one. Dumbass tag curiously MIA for the parents of said grenade belt buckle wearing child. Maybe the tag is on vacation at subby's house. :)

No where in the article does it say where this family is from, just that they were docking in Miami.

/Sorry Subby
//Next time, finish TFA.

ha! there was also an incident like this about a year ago I think at my closest major airport..OIA thats right Orlando International Airport..it was all on the local news how OIA shut down for like an hour cuz some punk kid had a grenade shaped belt buckle. gods I love florida...being 100% serious. you guys think we're all dumb and I will admit...a great many of my fellow floridians are (college educated myself, got my first degree while in highschool in fact while in honors program) but its like waking up in a southern version of a HP lovecraft novel often. Killer hurricanes and tornadoes, alligators everywhere, crazy gun laws and until recently having the evil W's bro as governor, tons of rednecks in a state with a huge immigrant population and drugs..miami, nuff said, plus all our poltical crap...and disney world ...dude I could go on. It's all so aweful and awesome all at the same time.

...but I actually do own one of these belt buckles (got it as a gift from a girl) and have been tempted to wear it next time I fly to see if a repeat happens of all these fiascos...cept who needs the headache? oh btw OIA's secuirty is one of the worst in the entire USA, obviously. major breach when gun and drug smuggling ring was found working in OIA few months ago...

/gawd i love this state
//never a dull moment

Where else? Anywhere there are rednecks.

I came here for an AWESOME BELT BUCKLE picture show...and so far im disappointed...





I'm gonna buy them all and wear them like a freakin bat-utility belt

As do the fear mongering asshats that treated this like a real threat.

Smitty Fails. As others have said the ship's origin port is in Florida but people come from all over the world to go on it.

Rosie O'Donnell brought her War kid on a cruise again?

I'm reminded of a few kid's T-Ball games I've had to watch.

The terrurists team won about six innings ago. It's 72-3, but we still have to sit on uncomfortable bleachers with no beer for another hour-and-a-half because they can't just call the game without hurting the USA team's feelings.

It's over. We lost. Farkin' end this shiat already so we can all get snowcones.

Now that's spoken like a true 'merican!

U.S.A.!
U.S.A.!
U.S.A.!

/sigh

For the record, while subby is probably wrong about the Florida tag, it's still worth laughing at the numbskulls that bring anything weapon shaped on a vacation where you pass through customs. I hope the parents get stuck with the bill for all that extra screening work.
