TAMPA - A 21-year-old Clearwater man was arrested at Tampa International Airport this weekend after security personnel found a box cutter in a hollowed-out book, authorities said.

Baines told officers he was moving to Las Vegas and forgot the cutter was in the book.
Officers found books in the backpack titled "Muhammad in the Bible," "The Prophet's Prayer" and "The Noble Qur'an." He also had a copy of the Quran and the Bible.

The Bible? Was he using it to reference how wrong his books are?

I agree. Give the poor guy a break. Like digidonny said - He's stupid. Besides, I do this to all my books, too. And I'm forever forgetting which book I left my boxcutters in. I have to go through all of my books to find my boxcutter. Allah forbid that I cut out the pages in a book, leave my box cutters in it, and then take it on an airplane to try to read it! Have you ever tried to read a hollowed out book? You only get about half of the story. Very upsetting! And then to have US Marshalls go all infidel on you just because you couldn't remember where you left your favorite boxcutters!

...and a number of the rest of them are just as funny & entertaining. :biggrin:
