Satan-obsessed former Los Angeles airport screener busted for making threats on eve of 9/11 anniversary
 A Satan-obsessed airport security screener who allegedly made creepy comments to a teen traveler in June is behind bars on suspicion of calling in threats to LAX and taping a menacing note inside his closet invoking the Sept. 11 anniversary, FBI officials said. Nna Alpha Onuoha, 29, worked for the TSA for seven years but was recently suspended after Los Angeles high school student Sarina Frauenfelder accused him of making inappropriate comments about her apparel as she passed through security June 16, a well-placed source told the Daily News. “You’re only 15, cover yourself,” Onuoha allegedly said, according to a blog post by Frauenfelder’s dad, the founder of the popular blog Boing Boing. Onuoha, a Nigerian national who’s now a naturalized U.S. citizen, was disgruntled over the resulting disciplinary action and flipped out Tuesday with a series of threats against LAX, officials said. Onuoha, a former National Guardsman who had been living in home for U.S. Veterans, has since been linked to a personal website, www.satanhasfallen.org, that includes rambling writing about evil spirits, Satan and the antichrist. |

A county grand jury indicted Smith in the death of
