"But they are also giving themselves away for free. They are not anonymous on the airplane, and will be monitored for a long time after the flight."

This is a distraction. No one is that obvious unless they want to be noticed. Maybe this is just another tactic to terrorize us. maybe they want us to focus on air travel rather than something else. Maybe both.

And no one on either flight had a camera....or a CAMERA CELL PHONE....should have popped of a couple megabyts of pics (of a few rolls for the oldie analog folks) of the miscreants.

I rather agree with you. It seems odd that they would be this "dumb".

Simply solution....Every muslim must show ID, and papers showing their travel intent before flight. The US checks every one.

Any questions? PC will kill if we allow it to!!
