Tenuous Tie

The headline reads “Jet Passenger Accused of Carrying Bullets." Five of them to be exact.  Now, read the article.  Within, you will find that the man in question, from Sudan, flew from Dulles to Heathrow but was not arrested until he attempted to board a flight to Dubai.

A couple of things.  First, how, if he had five bullets, did he make it past the much vaunted TSA at Dulles.  Possibly, the TSA staff, following the example of their now defrocked TSA Chief, Charles Brady, were drunk. Second, the article states the individual was arrested "on suspicion of possessing ammunition and involvement in terrorism." So, did he actually have five bullets or not?  And, does being in possession of five bullets qualify you as a terrorist or does being in possession of five bullets, in conjunction with being Sudanese, qualify you as a terrorist?
