No...it couldn't be...

A Michigan man who was aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 says he witnessed Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab trying to board the plane in Amsterdam without a passport.
Kurt Haskell of Newport, Mich., who posted an earlier comment about his experience, talked exclusively with MLive.com and confirmed he was on the flight by sending a picture of his boarding pass. He and his wife, Lori, were returning from a safari in Uganda when they boarded the NWA flight on Friday.
Haskell said he and his wife were sitting on the ground near their boarding gate in Amsterdam, which is when they saw Mutallab approach the gate with an unidentified man.
Kurt and Lori Haskell are attorneys with Haskell Law Firm in Taylor. Their expertise includes bankruptcy, family law and estate planning.
While Mutallab was poorly dressed, his friend was dressed in an expensive suit, Haskell said. He says the suited man asked ticket agents whether Mutallab could board without a passport. “The guy said, 'He's from Sudan and we do this all the time.'”
Mutallab is Nigerian. Haskell believes the man may have been trying to garner sympathy for Mutallab's lack of documents by portraying him as a Sudanese refugee.
The ticket agent referred Mutallab and his companion to her manager down the hall, and Haskell didn't see Mutallab again until after he allegedly tried to detonate an explosive on the plane.
Haskell said the flight was mostly unremarkable. That was until he heard a flight attendant say she smelled smoke, just after the pilot announced the plane would land in Detroit in 10 minutes. Haskell got out of his seat to view the brewing commotion.

No...it couldn't be...
I wonder if the hippieland airport has video that shows this. If so, the ‘proper authorities’ probably have it by now and are putting out an all-points on the well-dressed knucklehead.
Pakistani ISI perhaps?

“I wonder if the hippieland airport has video that shows this.”
There is no better airport security in Europe than Schiphol.
This guy?
Now we are hearing all about the enhanced security measures we will face at check in and on board. Yep, just like anything else in this mad mad world. In this case, it is harass those of us who are law abiding and if we give the wizards of smart at TSA any lip at all we are hauled off and charged/ But let those Imams make a fuss in the airport or those Muzzies cause troubles on aircraft as they are about to depart and all the pc crap is there to give them wide berth...
I think it is high time security everywhere start giving not one rats gluts and get as tough on the Muslims and those who practice Islam and maybe when the peace loving muslims among them get so tired of being treated like the bad guys maybe then they might just take some control of their own fellow bad guy muzzies and help stop all this crap.
My kids are on the way to ICeland tomorrow and normally I wish I was going along but not this time. I hope they have no problmes.
