The British Parliament, in a rapid response to a terror plot foiled by Scotland Yard yesterday, announced formation of a study panel today to determine why some Muslims hate airplanes.
Early reports indicate 21 men have been taken into custody in connection with a plan to take down an unknown number of U.S.-bound passenger jets originating in Great Britain.
The expert panel will examine various theories about why airplanes engender such hatred among devoted followers of a peaceful religion.
“Is it the horrendous noise? The speed? The condensation trails?” said one unnamed source close to the panel, listing some of the areas of inquiry the experts plan to pursue. “Because if it’s any of those things, we can get to work on engineering changes to make airplanes more tolerable to our Muslim brothers.”

Even with swept back wings it still looks too much like a Christian Cross. AND FLIES OVER MECCA!

Maybe if the airlines passed out bags of pork rinds instead of peanuts, the suicide bombers would be less eager to blow themselves up.

Here's the problem - airline 'pork rinds' would contain no pork. In fact, I'm not sure they would contain anything organic.

Thats funny. We are searching blue-haired grannies from Iowa and we aren't focusing on "any particular community" and that Muslims should not be viewed as "responsible"....

True, I hadn't thought of that. I guess I will just have to carry on a slab of bacon next time I fly.
