Remember when this story broke 2-3 weeks ago? The disgusting US mainstream media claimed he was a “union member” who was upset with the airlines position during negotiations?

Always remember - US mainstream media is lying to you through omission or false narrative.

Yes indeed, as they are not media, they are Leftist activists.

“We must fight terrorists over there so we don’t have to fight them here.”

We fight them over there, and then suddenly, they appear here as Dem. voters, welfare clients, and agents of cultural destruction. Weird how that works.

If we start bombing Iran, I can only imagine what new "migrant" flow will show up.

According to initial reports, he had been working for American for nearly 30 years. That begs some rather obvious follow-up questions, namely: what has this guy been posting or reviewing on social media? No secret that many ISIS followers become radicalized on-line.

Secondly, was he a convert to Islam or an adherent of the “religion of peace” for most of his life. If he was a long-term employee, you’d think the feds might have done some sort of screening after 9-11, given the continued interest of terrorists in aviation targets. How did he manage to fall through the cracks?

When he was first arrested, I told Mrs Spook, “wait and see, they will discover some sort of terrorist ties to that guy.” And it wasn’t hard to predict; that story about him being upset over contract talks was pure B.S. Lots of American Airlines mechanics are upset over the labor impasse, but only one (to date) has tried to sabotage a plane, and he just happens to be a Muslim. And now his real motivation has been confirmed.

What a surprise.

Someone did something.

Took them long enough to report this detail.

This story will disappear in 3..2...1

Damn right, PGR88. I’m trying to think of all the terms I never heard in my life until we started “fighting them over there” ...

Refugees from Iraq
Refugees from Afghanistan
Refugees from Syria
Refugees from Somalia
Refugees from the former Yugoslavia
Etc., etc.

Muslims need not apply....any job in the airline sector should be treated as sensitive and NO MUSLIM should be hired. ALL are not trustworthy. It is as simple as that.

Go back home, drive your camel, marry your goat but stay out of the transportation industry.

“Sheesh, have they ever heard of profiling and back ground checks?”

Well, we can’t discriminate against Muslims, and if we did background checks on them, we would eliminate pretty much all of them for having a friend, or relative, or friend of a relative or relative of a friend with ties to some terrorist group. So we can’t do that either. Diversity is our strength.

Part of the preflight is done before engines are started. Another prior to taking the active runway, and the final is done as the plane accelerates down the runway.

Surprised they found an issue with the pitot tube before the takeoff roll.

Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani: ties to ISIS?

No, that’s not possible! That’s a nice Amish name. Someone made a mistake.

But but but... I thought that having jobs would reform them into being nice people. That’s what I heard on Fox news.
