“That bulletin for law enforcement eyes only told of suspicious items recently found in passenger's bags at airport checkpoints, warned that they may signify dry runs for terrorist attacks,” CNN's Brian Todd reported Friday afternoon. “Well it turns out none of that is true.”Not true! Nope. It was an internal training bulletin of some kind: All the incidents it described (exploding cheese! killer ice packs!) had been discredited and no terrorist “dry runs” were involved, no charges brought. Ho hum.
The question Blitzer doesn't raise is why did they report it before sort of, I don't know, asking around?Dude, the news is supposed to be a little more than just OMG, isn't it? I can do OMG. Those guys are supposed to do let's-find-out. More often than not, it seems, they don't.
But then entertainment is where the real money is, and it's horror movie summer, Bunky. Better buy a double tub of popcorn.
