Passenger at Tampa International Airport arrested with box cutter in hallowed out book.

21 year old Benjamin Baines Jr. of Clearwater , Fla. was arrested at Tampa International Airport after security personnel found a box cutter in a hallowed out book titled, “Fear Itself.”

Officers searched his back pack and found several books titled, “Muhammad in the Bible,” “The Prophet’s Prayer” and “The Noble Qur’an.” He also had a copy of the Quran and the Bible.

Baines told officers he was moving to Las Vegas and forgot the box cutter was in the book.

Yes, I hallow out books all the time and forget where I put my box cutters too.

Several sheets of rap lyrics referring to police, narcotics, weapons and killings were also found in Baines’ backpack. He said he was a rapper who writes his own lyrics and rap music writers need to “play the part.”

Well, Mr. Baines, you are certainly “playing the part” now. Enjoy your time “playing the part” in the slammer.
