A magnet?
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An Iraqi national wearing wires and concealing a magnet inside his rectum triggered a security scare at Los Angeles International Airport on Tuesday but officials said he posed no apparent threat.
The man, identified by law enforcement officials as Fadhel al-Maliki, 35, set off an alarm during passenger screening at the airport early on Tuesday morning.
A police bomb squad was called to examine what was deemed a suspicious item found during a body cavity search of the man. Local media reports said a magnet was found in his rectum.

an experiment to see exactly what the reaction was and how fast it was?
America is at that awkward stage.

I'm surprised and happy about how this thread has gone...
When the story was posted, I predicted somebody would be saying something about a "robot gerbil" almost immediately....
