Two Pakistani men are being held in Seattle after an airline employee at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport found one of their names on a terrorism-related no-fly list Saturday night.

One of the men, 36, carrying a British Columbia driver's license, paid cash for a one-way ticket to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. After the airline employee called 911, the man left the counter, abandoning his ticket.

One way ticket with cash to JFK? Are they that stupid? Did an alert airport worker head something off?

"Once the identity of one of the men is confirmed, "this is going to turn into a big deal," a federal source said."

The Dems want open boarders?

Pre-landing on-board announcement heard at SeaTac:

"Albuquerque, Gate 14. Fresno, Gate 12. Portland, Gate 3. Los Angeles, Gate 27. For those of you going to Las Vegas, Gate 5. Guantanamo Naval Base, Gate 16. Or see one of our ground agents who will direct you to your connecting flight. Thank you for flying today."

Hmmmm. Sounds like all they did was enter illegally. SOP is to deport them. If we do any more, they'll walk on appeal - immediate deportation is all that happens to Mexicans caught on the southern border.
