Pilots union warns of 'dry run' by possible terrorists on US flight (Islam testing panes)

Security experts for a major airline's pilot's union have warned members that potential terrorists conducted apparent "dry runs" aboard domestic flights in recent weeks, and urged flight crews not to be pressured into taking to the skies if they are fearful.

A memo from the U.S. Airline Pilots Association, which represents more than 5,000 pilots who fly for US Airways, cites "several cases recently throughout the (airline) industry of what appear to be probes, or dry runs, to test our procedures and reaction to an in-flight threat."

"Bringing down an airliner continues to be the Gold Standard of terrorism," states the undated memo, first reported by WTSP-TV in Tampa-St. Petersburg. "If anyone thinks that our enemies have “been there, done that” and are not targeting U.S. commercial aviation -- think again.

Bingo.. “Ohhhh drats, the TSA missed the bomb because we were short a few people” I can hear it now. Such an incident will be ALLOWED to happen like the Boston Bombing was ALLOWED to happen so the DHS could hijack an entire city, taking all residents hostage and pointing guns at them.

Well in May, one Baraq Hussein mohammed 0bama unilaterally declared - The "Global War on Terror" is over.

So I guess if some raghead, muzzie, suicide bombers blow planes out of the sky these aren't terrorist acts - according to the illegal alien community organizer.

We are a captive people. Lord lead us out of egypt . . .

it is third party time. A few friends and myself have been brainstorming and deciding which direction our families will go from now on. Divide into cells - include only those long time friends and family you trust. Include a diversity of skills and have each expert begin training the others. Begin seperating yourself from opportunities to be controlled by the feral federals. Don’t hunker down - just get smart. If and when further action is needed you will be ready. I read this quote on a liberal forum once “Revolution is a dish best served cold”. Wonder what they have planned?

Prior to 9/11 were number of “dry runs” or probes

Nov 1999 -American West Flight 90, 2 Saudi students strolled up aisle to cockpit door and tried to open it in flight When challenged claimed were looking for bathroom
At stop over in Ohio were yanked off plane and questioned by FBI

Month later an Al Quaeda terrorist named Walid Bin Atiah took number of flight carrying knives to test reaction

Found by mixing knives with art supplies could beat security (Oh thats just my tools for cutting poster board to mount my work.....)

Actor James Woods spotted 2 of the hijackers on flight August 2001 in first class. Was so freaked out by their actions - sat staring at people and whispering to themselves that he filed report to FBI. Day after 9/11 was questioned by FBI to identify the hijackers.

By thgen was too late.......

Two minutes ago, Fox news read a statement from the TSA. They essentially said, in so many words, nothing to see here, keep moving, and I think you are right. It is "when" not "if" How I despise these government slime bags.

Because Muslims regard Islamic attacks as “jihad”, and not terrorism, they can verbally deny any support for terrorism.

The American flying public have to wake up.When they see this crap they need to beat the living daylights out of these SOB’s because they are creating a Breach of the Peace at a minimum and as a passenger on a vehicle they don’t have to be afraid for their safety.

If enough of these thugs are taken down.This crap will stop.
