Large Hadron Collider Scientist is Aspiring Terrorist

I live in the US, but I'm still wondering if the US obtained the information legally...

Stuff like this is just scary. People were scared about this thing anyway, imagine if they knew someone in association with Al Qaeda was helping with it

"The Daily Mail" LMAO best used for toilet paper, for it's "immigrants are to blame for everything" stance and being very anti Europe. Ridiculed in the UK and of no journalistic integrity whatsoever. Also known as "The Daily Hiel"

"French officials sad that Hicheur had not yet carried out an attack, nor had it put in place the material to do so."

Geez, I know our relations with the french had been strained in recent years, but that they would be "sad" that an attack was not carried out is sad in itself.

Just great Now I will have to worry about Black holes forming and sucking all of us in it..... lmao

who cares if the information was obtained illegally or otherwise. Fact is he is a scientist working on a secure and very sensitive facility with access to private areas and most likely signed more than one agreement related to security. His life is under a microscope already. More so than your average joe on the street. His expectation of privacy is not assumed.

Wonderful. I guess now I can expect to be searched for black holes when I go through security at the airport.

How does a nuclear scientist go so wrong? Not like he was a elementary school teacher... your average guy doesn't graduate with a degree in nuclear science. I wonder if he got that degree because he was a terrorist or if he got that degree and then became a terrorist. Hm.

Wonderful. I guess now I can expect to be searched for black holes when I go through security at the airport.

Yay, more anti-science FUD from the entertainment press. I know, lets get scared about LHC reactions creating a magical space demon that runs around and eats testicles!

For the record, they are being held on "suspicion of association".

Terrorist scum

Being a scientist means academic achievement that one has proved in one's particular field. A scientist can still be a useful idiot. Many Nazi scientists were deeply in belief of Nazi propaganda, and, in some cases, are Nazis themselves. Smart people they are, indeed, but wise they are not.

Ya know, considering the amount of information being revealed about why this guy is guilty and "admitted" do doing this, this could be some french cover-up for something more.... Conspiracy I say!

It could happen, think about it.

Needless to say though, now they'll be checking references of those working on the collider ;-)

Just remove this sob from the gene pool, like all terrorists.

You would expect a nuclear scientist to be smarter than that, which is being a terrorist.

@Jane I love how you just bounce right back from those comments Jane. Awesome!!!

Anyone remember the book/movie "Contact"...?

Why do people get all political and extreme when it comes to voicing their opinions, which as a matter of fact, has no weight when it comes to the real politicians and the world, sorry as I may feel for everyone out there living in fear of the so called Islamic fundamentalist or the Nazi, or the Skinhead, or the big black man.......
I would suggest to all those who voice their opinions in such a manner to just refer to a few pages of history and listen to Bob Marley " If you know your history, then you'd know where you're coming from"....
I guess the world has had enough of this Islamic fundamentalist BS it's high time the governments of the world got out of this whole act of blaming every bleeding mistake on the arabs and took it on their own heads......
What the people , you people , don't understand is, that for the mistakes that our political heads have made, we and the people of other countries and races are paying the price......
Why did the price of oil go up???? why is there a shortage of food and water in half the world? why is there such a strict border control facility in our countries? why do we live in fear?
If I was right, living on the right side of the lord allmighty, then would I be afraid of anything? would I be doubting the beauty of the human being? would I be going to war on false pretenses or just for my own power hungry goals? We are wrong, believe me, just beccause we stood by and watched while our political heads wronged others, and now since we're all so good at passing the buck, the Arabs started it all....... just remember they never conquered the other continents, it was we who invaded their deserts and have been doing so ever since.
Stop pushing so they won't push back...... when will we learn..... when will we start to care about LIFE and not just my part of the planet, or your part of the planet..... but care about life..... black, white, yellow, pink, brown and the whole bleeding rainbow.... but just to care
and be careful to voice your opinions since even kids read this news........

Just remember they never conquered the other continents, it was we who invaded their deserts and have been doing so ever since.

Dude before making such claims check your history books first.
Ever heard of Reconquista?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconquista
Surely arabs or Islam are not source of all evil but they had their fun in Middle Ages just like Europeans so they are no victim in this story

And as to the question of shortage of food and water that again mostly has to do with these countries' leaders who are just as corrupt as everyone else.
The difference is western countries can afford it.
And Bob Marley has nothing to do with any pages of history , he was just a singer last time I checked.
Oh and one last thing , I hope you don't blame western countries for women being stoned to death or beheaded for adultery in muslim countries.

I have to laugh at the source story ...

"And today details of the ‘brilliant and solitary’ physician’s sinister plans were made public by security sources who have been collecting evidence against him for the past year-and-a-half during a surveillance operation."

I'm sure the LHC needs it's vitals checked regularly, and the physicists on the team will need regular doctor vists as well.

I wonder if the original authors know the difference between a physicist and a physician?

Tom's, there are plenty of credible sources to reference for this same story.

the LHC isn't running at full power yet. I don't expect it will be running at full power until December 2012. Call it a hunch, lol

Anybody who kills in the name of GOD/ALLAH is an idiot. Sorry, but its true. I think if GOD/ALLAH wanted somebody dead they would have no problems doing it themselves *if one or the other even exist*.

Also the whole flying a plane.. Not that difficult. Flying is the easy part it's the take off/landing that will kill you. Researches even said it wouldn't take that much training to do what they did. It would take some but not a great deal.

But you're right educated people can still be idiots. This guy would fall underneath the educated idiot program. Seems like a lot of people are taking that program these days.

Hey, he's a world class nuclear scientist, it's understandable any group with nuclear arms would be interested in him.

The guys a scientist, he does science, leave him alone.
