As I noted previously, Kurt Haskell - a passenger who was on board Northwest Airline flight 253 on Friday - claims that after the flight had landed, a bomb-sniffing dog was sent in to check the bags, and that something was detected in a passengers carry-on bag.
Mr. Haskell retold the story to Fox News anchor, Gregg Jarret on Monday. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
JARRETT: Fast forward... The plane lands safely, although, obviously, given the terror attack or the attempted terror attack, a great deal of commotion. And then you see someone else being arrested other then Mutallab?VIDEOHASKELL: I wouldn't use the word arrested. What I saw was, bomb sniffing dogs were brought in. One of the [security personnel] made a reaction to one of the carry-on bags of a different Indian gentleman, who I would say was around age thirty. They immediately escorted him to an interrogation room where he was held for about an hour. At which point he came out with handcuffs and was taken away. Subsequent comments made by the FBI alarmed me a little more. They immediately moved us to a different room and said: "The room you're in now is not safe. Read between the lines. I'm sure you're smart people and can figure out why you're being moved." Now, to me that says one thing, 'there was a bomb'. But, you know, I don't have any verification of that specifically....
Apparently, the Obama administration is in full damage control mode and is not telling us the complete story.
Put people through the searches for hard metal items and then line them up and let the dog take a pass in front of them and them behind them. If they have explosives anywhere on or in their bodies the dog will find it. It is just that simple. Do this walk by in a secure area with the passengers spread out in line in a sharply zig zaged hallway. That way if anything does go off fewer people are hurt.I know from finding explosives under battlefield conditions that the dogs can stop this threat.
I don’t think it was a dry run. I think it was intended to happen on Christmas day but failed. Thankfully.
Last time we came in on an international flight, they had a BEAGLE sniffing the luggage at DFW. I LOVE beagles!
Maybe he was a Pakistani?
There was also the “missing passenger” flight that stopped in Iceland en route to Detroit.
Right. The baggage travelled while the passenger remained in Germany.
Read Jayna Davis’ book about the OKC bombing and you will find the missing middle easterner.
