Man Discovered With Cash, Cyanide, Nuclear Information

We wouldn't have caught this guy before Nancy Pelosi was voted Speaker of the House (which she just was -- unanimously by Democrats).

The article doesn't say what form the cyanide took. Cyanide capsules? Do we have a bona-fide old-world spy on our hands?

He's unemployed, so I don't know how he'd have access to any real nuclear secrets. Then again, he had a lot of cash on him for an unemployed man. Maybe he's a cut-out using his US citizenship to ease his way through security checks, ferrying information collected from genuine spies to their masters abroad.

A man was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after officials say they found him carrying more than $78,000 in cash and a laptop computer containing information about nuclear materials and cyanide.

Sisayehiticha Dinssa, an unemployed U.S. citizen, was arrested Tuesday after a dog caught the scent of narcotics on cash he was carrying, according to an affidavit filed in court.

When agents asked him if he had any cash to declare, he said he had $18,000, authorities said. But when agents checked his luggage, they found an additional $59,000. When they scrolled through his laptop, they said they found the mysterious files.

At a court hearing Wednesday, Dinssa was ordered held in custody until at least until Monday at the request of prosecutors.

...

Dinssa, who is from Dallas, arrived in Detroit from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and was headed for Phoenix, Feller said. He is charged with concealing more than $10,000 in his luggage, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, the Detroit Free Press reported.

We can only assume he's a Presbyterian, as the article doesn't say.

That's my new rule. No mention of religion = Presbyterian.

The Religion of Restraint. Hah!
