We all have to take off our shoes and hand over any bottled liquids to the TSA when we get on a plane. But put a magnet inside a "lower body cavity" before boarding a flight at LAX, and they'll let your luggage travel ahead even though you've been detained by a squeamish screener: Wired <http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=20 07-03-06T224709Z_01_N06439574_RTRUKOC_0_US-SECURITY-LOSANGELES.xml&src=rss&r pc=22> Iraqi man questioned at L.A. airport. LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Officials detained an Iraqi man during a security scare at Los Angeles International airport on Tuesday but said a suspicious object found in a body cavity search did not pose a threat. The man, identified by law enforcement officials as Fadhel al-Maliki, 35, was detained at passenger screening at the airport just before 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning. The bomb squad was called as a precaution and authorities said they found wires in his clothing and a magnet inside a lower body cavity. The man was preparing to board a US Airways flight to Philadelphia. The flight left without the passenger but with his luggage aboard. Massive security hole, anyone? (No pun intended.)
