TSA to police: Look out for possible terrorist attack 'dry runs' - CNN.com
by Decius at 10:50 am EDT, Jul 25, 2007

In one case last September, a couple in Baltimore, Maryland, checked a plastic bag with a block of processed cheese taped to another plastic bag containing a cell phone charger.
Terrorists could be testing the system, or could be conducting repeated operations to desensitize security officials, the bulletin says.
While "initial investigations do not link them with criminal or terrorist organizations," the bulletin adds that "most passengers' explanations for carrying the suspicious items were questionable, and some investigations are still ongoing."

Cheese. They are on the lookout for Cheese. They have no evidence that the Cheese is connected with terrorism. But explanations for the cheese are "questionable." They are also on the lookout for devices that look like IEDs:

"The unusual nature and increase in number of these improvised items raise concern, and TSA personnel should continue vigilance for groupings of ordinary items that look like IED (Improvised Explosive Device) components," the bulletin says.

Like ipod chargers? I don't mean to make light of a serious situation, but the fact is that people who are professionally paranoid have a tendency to believe their own fantasies. When the TSA tells their employees to be on the lookout for blocks of cheese, they better have some credible reason. It doesn't sound like they do.

Dead Milkmen Lyrics "Dead Milkmen Peter Bazooka lyrics" Tuesday - yes, it was Tuesday When I saw my congressman coming out of the titty bar He didn't look like my congressman, but that's okay Nobody really looks like themselves anymore I think its got something to do with that crap They've been pouring into the water I decided it might be wise to follow the congressman Just to see what he was up to. After all, my tax dollars do pay his salary. The congressman got into a taxi, so I hailed a taxi Despite the obvious dangers involved And the coloured voices in my head began to sing: All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall And I can hear it all, yes I can hear it all All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall And I can even hear the little insects crawl The congressman was in taxi number 23 And I was in cab 17 But numbers are meaningless in this kind of cat and squid game My driver was an Aries And he laughed when I said "Follow that cab!" And he kept laughing until he saw the cold blue steel of Little Elvis "Keep your god-damn hands off that radio!" I warned him "I work for the government!" This is actually a half truth I'm really a bike courier But I make a lot of deliveries to government offices. That's where I heard about the cheese. And the coloured voices in my head kept singing: All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall And I can hear it all, yes I can hear it all All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall And I can even hear the little insects crawl There's this super secret government program called "Operation the cheese stands alone" It's the congressmen's pet project They claim that they're giving surplus cheese to the needy I, of course, have my suspicions After 15 very quiet minutes The congressman's cab pulled up outside a warehouse I had the Aries circle around the building and drop me off. He seemed to be grasping the importance of my mission Since he said I didn't have to pay him. As long as I promised to stay very far away from him and his taxi. I swear, some people just don't want to get involved. All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall And I can hear it all, yes I can hear it all All I gotta do is put my ear to the wall And I can even hear the little insects crawl So I walked into that cold dark place Little Elvis drawn and ready for action I too was ready - Ready for the moment when I would be a real American All I gotta do is bang my head on the wall And I can have it all, yes I can have it all All I gotta do is bang my head on the wall And I can even make the little insects crawl [x3]
