The FBI Sucks at Photoshop [PIC]

Saw this posted on FB today, I'm glad we have such a crack team working in the FBI. Where's Mulder and Scully when you need them?

I heard George Clooney will play Bin Laden in the movie of his life.

Aside from the ethical issue, I think they did pretty good with it.

Yeah, other than the hair it really doesn't look like the Spanish politician, but I find it strange that the FBI is just pulling off internet photos for this kind of work. Bad move there.

Gaspar Llamazares looks like Judd Hirsch from taxi. LOL.

They must have used an Intern to alter the photos .... Or picked up somebody from craigslist to help them out for cheap ... You know we are still in a recession.

Crap! Now I have to take all photos of me off of the internet before the FBI gets a hold of them! As it is, having a fairly common name I already ended up on Homeland Security's watch list and get detained every time I fly!

Turns out some guy with my same first, middle, and last name happens to also have my same DOB!!! SO DHS and TSA decided that I had to spend 5 hours in a detention room in Miami International Airport, while they verified my identity via "Solitaire" on their computers.

2nd time it happened, it only took 15 minutes for the guys at Newark Liberty International Airport to determine I wasn't their guy! Luckily I'm off of the list now, but who knows...

Are you sure you are off of the list? Since the Christmas day attempt, tons of names have been added to the no-fly list. The mass addition to the no-fly list is the government response to not connecting the dots for the "Briefs Bomber".

It happens all the time. I work in law enforcement, and anytime we 'run' a hispanic name, we get tons of returns. You should see what we get when we run a hyphenated name like 'jose gonzales-martinez'.....

Or Judd Hirsch (currently) in "Numbers." Friday nights on CBS!

Chris, I hope they're not making a movie about OBL!

Apparently it only happens on international flights, but last time I flew they confirmed I was off, but I could be added back any time. Ohh well...Some even suggested I use my mother's maiden name, but it's Lebanese which would make it even worse.

As for the "Briefs Bomber", why aren't they making everyone take their underwear off!? Wasn't that their solution for the "Shoe Bomber"?
