I mean, they're demanding it. I see no issue at all giving it to them.

He was a huge, beastly, bulging man!
In fairness, maybe they thought it was Randy Quaid. Isn't he on the run from the FBI?

"Scavenger hunt" for the second hit on Google if you search for it. Different standards, I guess.
Oh, I predicted this one. And I think I understand what's behind it. Because, on the one hand, we have actual damage done to stolen items, on the other, the condescending idea that these other people might not do a great job protecting their national treasures. You're shown evidence, and then just dismiss it.
Well, you've put forth no evidence except things that happened in the past and could hypothetically happen again, or acts carried out by terrorists. So...
Maybe you should be making a new argument instead. You know, instead of veiled appeals to subtle racism.

I wonder which excuse you'll use not to read it.

You just don't want to address the argument.

John Oliver already did pretty compellingly. It's probably easier to check that out to see why that "argument" is condescending and asinine.
