Comments on: Alleged Canadian Spy Coin Deemed Harmless

"Poppy Coin" Found By U.S. Contractors Led To Sensational Warning By Defense Department

This is absolutely ridiculous! I still can't believe what I just read. We are talking about a coin, for heavens sake. This is something that could be gone from your possession, possibly ten minutes later. I realize that the U.S. has every reason to be paranoid, but this is pathetic! In fact it is scary, just for the fact that it went on for as long as it did! I am thinking that if it has taken that long to figure out that it is just a coin, then the Americans do indeed have something to worry about, like is there anyone in charge of their safety that has a brain?

These coins are NOT harmless!!

Unless I am wearning my tin foil hat they have been used to look into my brain AND make me do things.

Also if you put one over each eye they function as X-Ray specs.

AND they prove that Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks (see page 241 in Tenet's new book).

Next thing you know, we're going to attacked by the Canucks. They're going to shoot some kegs of brewski at us, eh!!!!! :)

Perhaps a more important question that needs to be answered is why American spies are operating in Canada in the first place? The United States has previously abducted and tortured Canadian citizens, so I am not sure why CBS news is not following up on looking for an explanation as to why US agents were operating surreptitiously in Canada. Are there plans to abduct and torture more Canadian citizens?

Paranoia is a way of life here, not just for the wacko's anymore. The gov't will soon be issuing foil hats to all officials while the chem-trail crowd is still trying to explain why collapsing buildings don't fall straight down.

Whoops another Canadian terroist plan is foiled! The "Canadian homeland American spying agency" will have to come up with a better way of gaining intel on their neighbours from the south. They must be stinging after all the information they could of collected from vending machines accross America.

I would second, as well as add, to the comment on Homeland Security. This past weekend, my wife and I took our first trip "out of the country" to Canada. Before we left, we made sure that we obtained our birth certificates as they are REQUIRED to prove citizenship. On both trips across the border- going north, then coming back- we were NEVER asked for our birth certificates. They just looked at our drivers' licenses and asked a few quick questions. They were more interested in finding out what we had purchased than our place of origin.Makes you wonder how good a job they REALLY do.
