1. Sounds like we're all better off with this idiot off the roads. . .

If he's this stupid around people who can both witness his idiocy and arrest him for it, what does he do in the relative "safe confines" of his automobile?

3. Hard to believe the idiot is intelligent enough to find the airport.

Maybe he took a cab.

Denver is one of the last places you want to try anything even remotely suspicious. That airport is run with an iron fist.

6. Yup. They are tough as they go

They need to speed up the human traffic waiting on the TSA lines though. If I was Obama, I'd federalize these guys and give them a living wage. Maybe that'll motivate them to do a better job of going through the human traffic.

4. When I hear this kind of thing I have to wonder if a medical condition could be involved

It sounds like the guy is an idiot asshole, but seriously, we don't know what kind of conditions existed that set this guy off.

5. Yeah, but his 'medicine' is made in distilleries.

Sounds like the guy was loaded.

I can see no valid medical condition that would make one say your baggage has a bomb in it, unless he is mentally ill.
