Man held as terrorism suspect over punk song
Wed Apr 05, 08:15 AM EST

LONDON (Reuters) - British anti-terrorism detectives escorted a man from a plane after a taxi driver had earlier become suspicious when he started singing along to a track by punk band The Clash, police said Wednesday.

Detectives halted the London-bound flight at Durham Tees Valley Airport in northern England and Harraj Mann, 24, was taken off.

The taxi driver had become worried on the way to the airport because Mann had been singing along to The Clash's 1979 anthem "London Calling," which features the lyrics "Now war is declared -- and battle come down" while other lines warn of a "meltdown expected."



Mann told British newspapers the taxi had been fitted with a music system which allowed him to plug in his MP3 player and he had been playing The Clash, Procol Harum, Led Zeppelin and the Beatles to the driver.

"He didn't like Led Zeppelin or The Clash but I don't think there was any need to tell the police," Mann told the Daily Mirror.

A Durham police spokeswoman said Mann had been released after questioning -- but had missed his flight.

"The report was made with the best of intentions and we wouldn't want to discourage people from contacting us with genuine concerns," she said.

Entering an airport these days is like walking the streets in the 3rd Reich. The oppressive atmosphere unnecessarily created by over-reaction and a total vacuum of common sense alone makes you feel guilty of something.

That's the society they are trying to create with the mass surveillance tracking and behavior regulation grid - guilty until proven innocent.

Now if you liked Boston Logan's brain scanners that detect and alert the authorities based on stress levels ( after all, only terrorists get stressed in airports right? ) then you're going to love this.



Russia, under the loving FSB (KGB) is introducing lie detector machines (pictured above) where, "passengers will pick up the handset of a "truth verifier" machine while they are asked questions."

Besides an argument about the fact that lie detectors are renowned for producing fraudulent results, just take a look at one of the questions asked.

"Have you ever lied to the authorities?"

Who the hell hasn't lied to authorities of one kind of another in their life? Does this mean that 100% will fail the interrogation and no one will fly? Little Hitler's like the one that roughed up the 83-year-old woman are salivating at the prospect of this coming to the US.

Don't forget that this is all a consequence of the world buying the ridiculous conspiracy theory that 19 retards with box cutters penetrated the most sophisticated air defense on the planet and pulled off crack fighter pilot moves to hit their targets on 9/11.
