That's such bull********************. All he did was his ********************ing job and gets this. So much for patriotism.

He didn't "win" $5 million. 'Spot the terrorist' is not a gameshow.

Sooo, lemme get this straight. Steps for getting $5 mil:

1. "Hey boss, this guy's weird..."
2. Nothing happens, continue to teach said weird guy.
3. Weird guy uses learned skills to wipe out building.
4. Fast forward 6 years, now an election year and though the info about the weird guy accomplished nothing, following the law of election year politics (bring up last big war/tragedy/event people will never shut up about and exploit) get money simply for the hell of it (wonder how much of it will go back into political donations-tax deductible of course )

I love how "two of his colleagues" were questioning why he got the money also. Everyone wants a piece of the pie

My favorite part of the story is that he has an "apartment" in Florida where no one recognizes him. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Florida has no income tax.
Apartment rent for one year: $12,000
PO Box in Florida: Free

$5 MILLION with no income tax taken out: Priceless

Everyone pays income tax, Florida just doesn't have state income. He'll still lose close to 40% of that.

But it should be...

"So, Ahmed, wanna see what you'll win?"

"A Brand New Camel!!!!"

Maybe we could get Bob Barker out of retirement
