LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A man was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport for having three bullets sewn inside his jacket after he set off a metal detector, authorities said.

Jay Daniel Brown, 39, was taken into custody about 4:10 p.m. Monday and was booked for investigation of possession of dangerous weapons, said Officer Jason Lee, a police spokesman. Bail was set at $20,000.

Brown set off a metal detector in Terminal 4, where he was planning to board an American Airlines flight to Austin, Texas, Lee said.

No passengers were evacuated from the terminal, authorities said.

.... that is the whole piece from AP....

1. Maybe they were silver bullets for hunting werewolves?

The common lead variety are easily obtainable in Austin.

2. Bail was set at $20,000 BECAUSE his name was Jay Daniel Brown

Can you imagine how high the bail would be(Not to mention the negative publicity)if the guys name were Mohammed Ibrahim?

But then again, just the sound of that arab guys name smells of terrorism. :eyes:

3. just the sound of that arab guys name<<

Worse yet... he could have been a democrat.... or even a person not swayed by fear mongering, fact spinning and other techniques designed to keep you in a deep sleep.

4. Just bullets? If there was no gun, why is this news?

Oh my GOD this is RETARDED!! This whole Zero Tolerance Bull Shit is really annoying and makes these people look even dumber than they are, which is really saying a LOT.

6. Uh - maybe an accomplice is carrying a plastic gun? I don't think it is

too much to ask that airline passengers don't show up for flights with bullets sewn into their clothing. It is hard to make the case that you just "forgot" when one does such a thing.

7. Well when you put it like that...you've got a point.

5. Geez, Jay, we have gun stores here in Austin ya know.

No need to bring your own ammo. :eyes:

8. I would be too lazy to be that crazy...

I would rather wear something else then be forced to sew a button back on to a garment. I can't imagine sitting down with a needle and thread to sew bullets into my clothes.
